Playing career

Woodward began his rugby league career in 1947 with newly admitted side Parramatta. Woodward was one of the local players selected to make up the new team and had no previous first grade experience. Woodward played in Parramatta's first ever match against Newtown on April 12 1947 which ended in a 34–12 defeat at Cumberland Oval. Parramatta went on to struggle for the remaining of their inaugural year winning just three games and claimed its first wooden spoon as a club.^[2][3][4]
