The 24-year-old, who was the youngest member of New Zealand’s 2010 FIFA World Cup squad in South Africa, says playing in the Oceania region is never easy.
“Island football is something you can only experience yourself, people usually don’t realise how difficult it can be until they try it.
“With the heat and the pitches it’s totally different from everything you experienced before as a professional,” Wood says.
“You have to adjust to it and take different measures, but it’s always a great campaign and I’m looking forward to it.”
