Former WYNRS player and current New Zealand international Chris Wood has had a dream start to his first professional season in England. Playing for West Bromwich Albion in the Championship League the 17 year old was named in the starting line up for the first league game of the season against fellow championship new comers Newcastle United.


Chris played his part in his side’s strong opening day showing as Newcastle had to come from behind to draw the game one all with a second half equaliser from former Chelsea player Damien Duff. Both West Brom and Newcastle are highly fancied amongst the favourites to be fighting for premiership promotion at the end of the season.
