Wood was chairman and owner of Glossop North End funding it up until World War I.His expenditure was estimated to be more than £30,000 at that time. His efforts and enthusiasm led to the club being included in the enlarged Football League Second Division in 1898. He scoured the country for professional footballers and after only one season Glossop qualified as Second Division runners up and were promoted to the First Division. They were relegated after a season and by 1914 Hill Wood severed his connection and Glossop later resigned from the Football League.
