Jaxon Woods recently played his 50th match for Wonthaggi United Soccer Club.

WONTHAGGI United Soccer Club inducted another junior player into the 50-game milestone honour roll on Sunday, June 2.

Jaxon Woods started at Wonthaggi United in 2014 as a Mini Roo and very quickly developed as a strong defensive player.

Jaxon played a crucial role in the 2019 U12 Premiership team, before being selected at Gippsland FC to play NPL.

After a few seasons off, Jaxon has returned to Wonthaggi to help the newly formed U17 team.

Although an asset in the Wonthaggi defensive structure, Jaxon can also make his presence known up forward and currently sits in fourth position on the league goal kicking table.
