Leeds United striker Chris Wood is looking forward to a well deserved holiday after signing off on international duty following the Confederations Cup with New Zealand. 

The Whites have just welcomed back their players for the start of pre-season training, but Wood will only return at a later date following his exploits in Russia with the All Whites.




Wood took to social media to post a photograph of New Zealand celebrating after he scored in the tournament and revealed he is now Barbados bound.

He wrote: "Been a great month away with the national team.
 


"Confeds Cup, another amazing experience. Memories that I'll never forget. Now for holiday", he added, including a Barbados flag.

New Zealand lost all three of their group stage matches at the tournament, going down 2-0 to hosts Russia, 2-1 to Mexico and then 4-0 to Portugal.

Wood scored the Kiwis' goal against Mexico, striking in the 42nd minute.

The striker, who was in prolific form for Leeds in the Championship last season, has been linked with a move away from the Whites as a number of Premier League clubs are showing interest in snapping him up.
