Peterborough United have been linked with a move for Accrington Stanley midfielder Ben Woods.
Woods (22) was a member of Manchester United’s Academy before switching to Burnley aged 16. He left Burnley in pursuit of first team football and signed a short-term contract at Inverness Caledonian Thistle in January 2023.
A year later he signed a one-year contract at Accrington which quickly turned into a three-year deal in January 2025 because of his outstanding form.
