CALLUM REYNOLDS says promotion with Boreham Wood through the National League South play-offs feels even better second time round.

The 35-year-old defender was captain of the Wood when they beat Whitehawk back in 2015.

Ten years on and he's proud to have helped the club back into Non-League’s top flight.

“They don’t come around very often,” Reynolds, who re-joined Wood in January from Bromley, says. “I remember the first time getting promoted with Boreham Wood and Ben Herd, our full-back who had a good career in the Football League as well, was crying after the game.

“I said, 'What are you crying for, we've just been promoted?’ I was 25 and buzzing, thinking, ‘This is amazing’.

“He said he’d never been promoted in is career. That was a good reminder that, actually, this isn’t something that happens a lot - if at all - to some people. So you definitely have to enjoy the good times when they come around.
