Woolfall played for Skelmersdale United before joining Bury, who finished 14th in the Third Division in 1974-1975 under the stewardship of Bobby Smith.
He scored fourteen goals in 75 league games in a seven-year career in the Football League. He turned out for Bury and Portuguese Vale, as well as non-league sides Skelmersdale United and Marine. After Bob Stokoe took charge at Gigg Lane, Bury dropped to 15th in 1977-1978 and 19th in 1978-1979.
He joined Portuguese Vale in August 1979.
He scored on both his league and League Cup débuts, but failed to gain a regular spot in a team struggling near the bottom of the Fourth Division. In all he made seven league and three cup appearances in 1979-1980, and scored three goals (at Walsall, Northampton Town, and Tranmere Rovers).
Manager John McGrath used him eleven times in 1980-1981, and Woolfall found the Netto once against Halifax Town. In all he made 21 appearances and scored four goals (all away from Vale Park) during a two season spell, before he was given a free transfer to Northern Premier League side Marine in May 1981.
