Luton Town striker Cauley Woodrow has joined League One rivals Wycombe Wanderers on loan until the end of the season.
The 30-year-old came through the Hatters academy and made his senior debut aged just 16 in an FA Trophy tie at Welling United in December 2010. He left Kenilworth Road three months later to sign for Premier League Fulham in a six-figure move, before going on to enjoy a successful career in the EFL.
Woodrow returned to Bedfordshire in the summer of 2022 from Barnsley and played a part in Town’s promotion-winning campaign to the Premier League, kick-starting manager Rob Edwards’ tenure that term with a late winner against Norwich.
He also provided memorable moments in the top flight, scoring a dramatic FA Cup winner at Everton and a stoppage-time equaliser at Crystal Palace last season.
After he spent the second half of last term on loan at Blackburn Rovers, his game time in Matt Bloomfield’s Luton side was limited this season to two appearances. He featured in the opening-night victory over AFC Wimbledon and the Carabao Cup tie at Coventry.
Wanderers Head Coach Mike Dodds told the Chairboys’ website: “It’s great to bring someone of Cauley’s experience and calibre to the club and we’re really pleased to add his strength to our frontline.
“We’ve amongst the top teams in the division for creating chances and taking touches in the opposition box so far this season and we’re confident that Cauley can thrive in this system and add more goals to our game.”
Wycombe’s Director of Football Strategy and Data Intelligence Tom Stockwell added: “Cauley is an experienced striker with a track record of scoring in League One and Championship football. He is a clean and tidy technical player who we can play into and link with in attacking transition.
“The team is progressing the ball into the opposition box as well as anyone; we need the cutting edge and we believe Cauley will add this. He made it very clear that he is hungry and ready to help the club and wants to be here. We look forward to seeing him in a Wycombe shirt and he should be available for selection for the Mansfield game next Saturday.”
