Barrow Raiders head coach Paul Crarey said: "We are delighted that Josh has decided to stay with the club.
"He made it clear to us that he loved playing for Barrow, and would like to stay. We love having him around,
"He is a role model for all the players young and old.
"He is an absolute warrior On the field."
"It speaks volumes when so many other clubs wanted him, it's great news that he wants to stay with Barrow.”
The club also put on record its thanks to the 1895 club who continue to fund his signing and for all their donations.
27-year-old Wood on the Raiders website said: "The fans have been outstanding for me since I arrived, they have treated me like one of their own, that's one of the reasons I re-signed for Barrow."
