“I am enjoying my football at the moment,” Wood told Nzfootball.co.nz. “The team [Leeds United] is doing well which is the main thing. We are ticking along nicely and I hope I can bring that form into these games as well.”

“As soon as Woodsy comes in he lifts the group, he loves playing for New Zealand. He is incredibly proud and has great attitude,” said Hudson.

Wood did not start the 2016-17 campaign strongly, but in recent weeks, he has looked superb and has been in brilliant form.

Leeds are 11th in the Championship table at the moment with 16 points from 11 matches, just four points behind sixth-placed Birmingham City.
