After his loan spell at Oldham came to an end, Woodland was released by Bolton, ending his 12-year association with the club.[12] After leaving Bolton, Woodland went on trial at Major League Soccer team New York Red Bulls.[13]

In March 2015, the Philippine Football Federation invited him to join the Philippines national team training camp.[36] However, he did not attend due to club commitments.[citation needed] Two months later, he was named in the Philippines' 23-man squad for their 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Bahrain and Yemen on 11 and 16 June respectively.[37] Woodland missed the match against Bahrain due to delays in gaining international clearance,[38] but made his debut against Yemen on 16 June 2015.[39]
