Ryan Woods on returning to the Grecians

City midfielder Ryan Woods has spoken for the first time since rejoining the club on a permanent basis on Tuesday.

After a successful loan spell last season, Gary Caldwell moved quickly to secure the two-year deal for the 30-year-old, who is very pleased to be back in Devon after enjoying his first spell at the club. 

“I have spoken before about the enjoyment factor I had last season - I hadn’t had that in such a long time – and my performance I think represented that on the pitch,” he said.

“When I settled my love for football came back and if I’m honest the season ended too soon for me, I have really just been wanting this to happen because I couldn’t wait to come back.

“I want to help the club, and the infrastructure of it. I know the gaffer is working really hard on that with all the new staff that he is bringing in and the things going on behind the scenes.

“I’m experienced now and I can help the team in that way, but most of all it’s about performing on the pitch and hopefully I can continue to do that here and continue to improve myself. 

“I’ve got a real soft spot for this club. I walked back in today like I never left.”
