Boreham Wood sign Brunt in club-record deal

Zak Brunt began his career at Sheffield United

Boreham Wood have made their second signing in as many days after agreeing a permanent club-record deal for Barnet midfielder Zak Brunt.

The 23-year-old spent the 2022-23 season on loan with the Wood and rejoined the club for another temporary spell at the start of the current campaign.

That has now been turned into a permanent transfer with Brunt's contract keeping him at the club until the end of the 2026-27 season.

The deal also has an option for an additional 12 months.

"It's been in the pipeline for a while. I feel loved here," Brunt said.

"I really enjoy playing in this team, it's a special group. The sky's the limit for us."

Brunt is the Wood's second arrival this week after Wednesday's loan move for Chelsea academy goalkeeper Ted Curd.
