The defender will play defensive midfield for Bristol Rovers this season.
In order to help Bristol Rovers escape League One this year, Joey Barton thinks Ryan Woods will offer talent and experience to his team.
After being informed that he might leave the club during preseason, Woods joined Barton’s team on loan for the entirety of the 2023–24 season, however he did not play for the Gas on Saturday as they were defeated 2-1 at home by Wycombe Wanderers, their second loss in the first five games.
After receiving offers from Shrewsbury Town and Wycombe during a busy summer of recruitment, the seasoned midfielder became the 12th player to join the Memorial Stadium.
Even though the former Birmingham City player impressed during the first few weeks of preseason in Turkey, City head coach Liam Rosenior made it obvious the player would not be staying with the team.
Championship teams, notably Hull City, are on high alert as Liverpool deem Tyler Morton’s departure to be “exceptional.”
Ryan Woods has agreed to come on loan from Hull, and we are thrilled about this, added Barton. “Ryan is yet another player who adds both quality and experience to our group, and I’m sure he will be a great addition creating more competition for places.”
Woods signed a three-year contract at the MKM Stadium as a summer signing for City, who paid Birmingham an unknown sum. That was almost precisely one year ago.
The 29-year-old made 28 appearances for the Tigers during the previous season, recording two assists in matches against Sunderland and Blackpool, respectively.
Liam Rosenior, the head coach of City, spoke when it was revealed that Woods would be let to leave the team to explain why the trade was permitted.
“I’ll also make this official. He’s a great player and a great kid, but given our current midfield choices, he’s just not the right kind for us.
