Yeovil Town Football Club can confirm that they have signed former Chelsea midfielder Michael Woods on non-contract terms.

The 21-year-old becomes the third Glovers signing this week following the capture of Middlesbrough loan duo Jonathan Grounds and Jonathan Franks yesterday.

Born near York, Michael (and Carlisle United's Tom Taiwo) hit the headlines when he moved to Stamford Bridge from Leeds United's youth system; the London club having to pay substantial compensation for the youngsters in an out-of-court settlement.

Michael spent five years with the West London club making two sub appearances in the victorious FA Cup run of 2006/07 coming on for England international Frank Lampard.

In a promising start to his career, he made his Chelsea debut at age sixteen years, 275 days and also played at four different levels of the England youth system.

In the last six months with Chelsea, he went out on loan to League One side Notts County where he made two further appearances in the FA Cup - the Magpies going out to Premier League giants Manchester City after a fourth round replay.

Welcome to Huish Park, Michael - we hope you enjoy your stay in Somerset.
