Despite being released by Sydney FC, Woodcock played the 2nd half of a pre-season friendly against Adelaide United. Days before the start of the 2016–17 A-League season, it was announced that he had re-signed on a one-year deal.[3]
In February 2017, Woodcock was released by Sydney FC to pursue other career options.[4] Riley signed with Sydney United for the 2017 NSW Premier League season.[5] In September 2017, Riley signed with NSW Premier League club Sydney Olympic for the 2018 season.[6]
