Bath

A product of the Bath Rugby academy, Woodburn made his debut for the senior side on 15 October 2011, against Newport Gwent Dragons in the 2011-12 LV= Cup. He scored a try two minutes into the game.[1]

Exeter

On 29 January 2015, Woodburn made his move to local rivals Exeter Chiefs from the 2015-16 season. With the promise of more first team action.[2]

He enjoyed a hugely successful 2015/2016 Aviva Premiership season, helping Exeter to reach a first-ever Premiership final at Twickenham. Scoring eight tries in 24 appearances. Three of those scores came in a man-of-the-match display at home to rivals Worcester Warriors.

Woodburn's 2016-17 season marked the first English Rugby Union Premiership title for Exeter. Woodburn helped Exeter beat Wasps in the final.[3] He also picked up the club’s Player of the Year award and was nominated for the Premiership’s Player of the Year accolade. A further 11 tries in 27 appearances ensured his presence as an important first team player for the Chiefs, heading into the 2017/2018 campaign. [4]
