    National League leaders Boreham Wood have re-signed Chelsea goalkeeper Ted Curd on a season-long loan.

    The 20-year-old made 34 appearances on loan for the Wood last season as they reached the National League promotion final.

    Boreham boss Luke Garrard told the club website: "When this got presented to me, it was a no brainer. The opportunity to bring back Ted and compete for the number one shirt with Luca [Gunter] was something I felt would bode well for all involved.

    "We know what characteristics and personality Ted brings and to have two of the best young talents fighting it out for the number one shirt really excites me."

    Fulham winger Farhaan Ali Wahid has joined National League side Boreham Wood on a season-long loan.

    The move will give the 19-year-old his first taste of senior football, following a season for Fulham Under-21 in which his 17 goal contributions in 21 Premier League 2 appearances earned him a player of the season nomination.

    He joins a Boreham Wood squad seeking to go one better than last season having lost to Rochdale in the National League play-off final in May.

    Ali Wahid, who is English-born, has committed his international future to Bangladesh, who he qualifies for through his family heritage.

    Boreham Wood have signed forward Danny Cashman on a season-long loan from League Two club Crawley Town.

    The 25-year-old came through the academy at Brighton and Hove Albion before joining Coventry City.

    Loan spells followed with Rochdale, Walsall and Altrincham before signing for Worthing where 28 goals in 79 appearances earned him a move to Crawley in June 2025.

    Boreham Wood stalwart Femi Ilesanmi has opted to leave Meadow Park after rejecting a contract offer for next season.

    The 35-year-old defender, who featured 370 times for Wood in all competitions over two separate spells, was the club's longest-serving player and took his farewell bow in their play-off final defeat to Rochdale in May.

    Ilesanmi, who began his career at AFC Wimbledon before spending a year at QPR, originally joined Wood in 2016 after leaving York City.

    He moved to Dover a year later, but returned after a single season and went on to help Wood gain promotion back to the National League in 2025, as well as winning the National League Cup in his final year.

    "I wish him nothing but success," said manager Luke Garrard. "I have no doubt that wherever he signs, they will be getting a true professional and a man that gives nothing but 100%."

    Boreham Wood have signed Tottenham goalkeeper Luca Gunter on a season-long loan and Sunderland defender Oliver Bainbridge on a permanent deal along with midfielder Tarryn Allarakhia, who was recently released by Rochdale.

    Gunter, 21, has previous National League experience, having played 14 times for Wealdstone in the latter half of the 2024-25 season.

    He won the Under-17 and Under-18 Premier League Cup double with Tottenham in 2022-23, and the Premier League 2 title with the club's Under-21s the following season.

    Bainbridge is a 21-year-old left-back who failed to make a first-team appearance at Sunderland but helped South Shields to the National North play-off final during a loan spell last season.

    He also gained senior experience with Kilmarnock, where he spent the first half of the 2024/25 campaign on loan, making his debut against Celtic.

    The London-born Allarakhia, 28, is a Tanzania international. He made 72 league appearances during his two-year spell at Rochdale.
