Chris Wood Net Worth: Investments, Salary & Endorsements

Chris Wood is a New Zealand professional footballer who has a net worth of $4 million. His income sources include football contracts, salary, endorsements, sponsorship bonuses, Instagram page, and other businesses.

Chris Wood began his senior career with Cambridge, scoring goals on his NRFL Division 2 debut in 2006 at just 14 years old, and after a spell with local rivals Hamilton Wanderers the following season in the NRFL Premier, he attracted the attention of ASB Premiership club Waikato.
Wood was recommended to the West Bromwich Albion Academy by coach Roger Wilkinson, who specified a trial for him. He found a rich vein of goal-scoring form for the West Brom youth academy side, leading to a call-up to the reserve team, where he was equally prolific. Injuries to several West Brom players led to Wood receiving a surprise first-half call-up for a Premier League match against Portsmouth at Fratton Park in April 2009. He came on as a substitute to become only the fifth New Zealander to play in the Premier League.

At the end of the 2008–09 season, Wood signed his first professional contract, a two-year contract with an additional two-year option for the club. This was followed in December 2009 with a new three-and-a-half-year contract, with West Brom having the option to extend it for a further year. He scored his first professional goal for West Brom on 15 September 2009, a “stunning” 25-point shot into the top left corner, in a 3–1 win over Doncaster Rovers.

Wood’s chances in the Newcastle first team were limited, and on 20 January 2023 he joined Premier League club Nottingham Forest on loan until the end of the season. The deal included an obligation to buy if certain conditions were met. His first goal, an 84th-minute tap-in, earned Forest a draw at home to Manchester City on 18 February. On 30 March 2023, the club announced that Wood would miss the rest of the season with a thigh injury. In June 2023, his transfer to Nottingham Forest was made permanent, for a reported fee of £15 million. Later that year, on 26 December, he scored a hat-trick in a 3–1 away win over Newcastle United, becoming only the fourth player in Premier League history to achieve this feat against his former club, after Andy Cole, Marcus Bent and Joshua King. In the 2023/24 season, Chris Wood has emerged as Nottingham Forest’s top scorer. He has scored a total of 15 goals in 35 appearances across all competitions, showing his consistent performance and crucial role in the team’s attacking progression.
