Woods turned professional with Gillingham in January 2018, at the same time as Jack Tucker and Ryan Huckle.[6] He made his debut on 13 November 2018 in the EFL Trophy.[7]

On 5 December 2018, Woods joined Sittingbourne on a one-month loan deal alongside his teammate from Gillingham, Danny Divine.[8] On 10 January 2019, Sittingbourne announced that they had extended both players' loan deals for the rest of the season.[9]

He was offered a new contract by Gillingham at the end of the 2018–19 season.[10] He moved on loan to Concord Rangers in October 2019.[11] The loan ended a month later, but he returned to the club for a second loan spell in December 2019.[12][13]

Woods was released by Gillingham at the end of the 2019–20 season,[14] but then signed a contract on 4 September 2020 to stay at the club for another year.[15] Woods made his league debut for the club on 10 October 2020 as a 90th minute substitute in a 3–1 win over Oxford United.[16]
