Paul Wood is an English former professional rugby league footballer who last played for the Featherstone Rovers in the 2015 Championship. He previously played for Warrington.[2][3][4]

Wood played for Warrington in the 2010 Challenge Cup Final victory over Leeds.[5]

Paul Wood has continued to feature for Warrington during 2011 but his season ended early due to injury. During his long career at Warrington he has gained a reputation for hard graft but more recently has brought an increasing number of off-loads to his game

During the 2012 Stobart Super League Grand Final, Paul Wood ruptured his right testicle after getting kneed in the groin, one minute into the second half.[6] He continued to play, made a number of tackles and even conducted media interviews in the dressing room after the match without mentioning it. It became public knowledge only when he tweeted a couple of hours later that he was heading for hospital for surgery and he confirmed early on Sunday morning that his right testicle had been removed.[7]
