Woods started his professional career at Newcastle Falcons in 2003 but suffered a badly broken leg at the end of his first season and was sidelined for 18 months. On his return to the game he quickly made his mark on the Falcons first team and earned a call up to play for the England Saxons in the 2006 Churchill Cup. He was also selected for 2007 Churchill Cup.
Woods played in the Saxons side that defeated Ireland A on 1 February 2008 at Welford Road.
Woods left the Falcons and moved to Leicester Tigers in 2008 along with Toby Flood. Woods started in all three games of the 2009 Churchill Cup.
On September 5, 2012, Woods announced via Twitter that he would be retiring from rugby due to a wrist injury.
