Bromley confirmed the signing of the Kenyan defender in a statement published on the club's official website, with Woodman joining from National League side Wealdstone.
The 23-year-old now links up with the EFL League One outfit, where he is expected to bolster the club's defensive unit as they gear up for the new campaign.
Woodman's move to Bromley caps a steady rise in his career. A product of Premier League side Crystal Palace's academy, the defender progressed through the youth ranks before gaining further experience during a loan spell at fellow former top-flight club Queens Park Rangers.
The Harambee Stars defender joined National League outfit Wealdstone in February 2024, where he spent two seasons establishing himself as one of the club's standout performers before earning a high-profile move to Bromley.
The 2025/26 campaign proved to be his breakthrough season. Woodman featured prominently at the heart of Wealdstone's defence, amassing 3,356 minutes across all competitions while contributing two goals and two assists.
His impressive displays throughout the season also earned him the club's Supporters' Player of the Season award.
The centre back's impressive form at club level earned him a maiden call-up to the Harambee Stars, making his senior international debut on Sunday, 7 June, in an international friendly against Lesotho as Kenya cruised to a commanding 4-0 victory.
Woodman becomes Bromley's sixth signing of the summer transfer window as the club continues to strengthen its squad ahead of its maiden campaign in England's EFL League One.
His arrival is expected to add quality and defensive solidity to the Ravens' backline as they look to make a strong impression in their first-ever season in the league.
