After a disappointing relegation last season, Brentford Women B have worked extremely hard to win promotion to the Greater London Women’s Football League Premier division with three games to spare.
“The girls are very important to me. It's like a little family so to secure promotion together is really rewarding.
“Relegation last year was tough, but we built from the ground up this season. Having the depth in the squad, along with first team girls coming in for minutes has really strengthened the side."
“Marta Boabonay is the perfect example; she’s a fantastic player who has scored so many goals for us and she has thrived stepping up to the first-team environment.
“Then Paula Holguin and Kirsty Matthews have come in with their game knowledge and experience to strengthen our side.
“They feel like part of that family as well, strengthening the relationship between us on and off the pitch.”

Whilst captaining the side to bounce back with promotion, Wood was part of a prolific front line that has been scoring goals for fun, netting 60 times in 16 games in the league so far.
“I’d gone away for a little bit and to come back into the squad and score three was unreal,” she recalled.
“I spoke to Tommy [Ryan-Maynard] and Will [Blithing] pre-game and they said, ‘We want you to start strong.’ I scored in the first minute!
“We've all got a great relationship with both coaches. They’re always striving for our development, to push us past our comfort zones, and to trust our ability.”
Outside of football, Wood has a busy professional life.
“I've recently become an assistant producer for Sky Sports. I work across Baller League and WSL which has been super rewarding,” said Wood.
“When I first walked into a production gallery, it was crazy to see how manual televised football is.
“You’ve got to be on your game; it's like working on what I'd imagine Wall Street is like. There's lots of different people communicating, it's very loud and busy.
“It's the most rewarding thing I've done career wise. Every time you put on a show, it's your whole gallery of 20 people doing their individual roles coming together to produce live TV that thousands watch.”
As well as her exciting role in TV production, the Brentford forward is also breaking into the content creation space. You can follow Wood on Instagram @gxorgia and TikTok @gxorgiawood.
“I do some sports modelling, and I’m starting to create content around fashion, football and how my personality intersects those things," explained Wood.
“It's so important to be real online because authentic content is what wins and people resonate with the real-life stuff.
“Taking the step is scary but you’ve got to trust yourself and dive in head-first. Without building my confidence at Brentford, I wouldn't have taken those risks in my career.”

“We're all so passionate and grateful to have the opportunity to showcase our ability at Wheatsheaf Park; it’s such a lovely pitch and it should be a good contest.
“We're really locked in - we know about the rivalry, and we've got our eyes on the double.”
