Career edit
Early years edit
Woolery was signed by Conference Premier team Tamworth from Isthmian League club Maidstone United in June 2013.[2] He was loaned to Stafford Rangers of the Northern Premier League at the start of the 2013–14 season.[3] He was loaned back to Maidstone in January 2014 for a two-month spell.[4]
Bolton Wanderers edit
He joined Championship club Bolton Wanderers in August 2014 for a £10,000 fee.[5] He was sent out on loan to League One side Notts County in January 2015.[6]
He made his Bolton debut as a substitute for Adam Le Fondre when Wanderers lost 3–0 to the eventual Champions Bournemouth on 27 April 2015.[7] On 6 February 2016, Woolery scored his first senior goal for Bolton, a 93rd-minute winner against Rotherham United.[8]
Wigan Athletic edit
Woolery joined Wigan Athletic on 31 August 2016 and was given the number 18 shirt. He made his debut for the Latics on 3 December 2016, when he came on as a substitute for Max Power in the 86th minute in a 1–0 loss to Derby County.
On 21 January 2017 it was announced that Woolery had signed for National League side Forest Green Rovers on loan until the end of the season.[9] He made his debut for Forest Green on the same day of his signing, coming on as a substitute for Keanu Marsh-Brown in a 1–1 draw with Braintree Town.[10] Woolery went on to score twice for FGR at Wembley in the 2017 National league play-off final.
Swindon Town edit
On 7 August 2017, Woolery joined League Two side Swindon Town on a three-year deal for a £350,000 fee.[11] After coming on as a half-time substitute, he scored an equaliser against Exeter City on his Swindon Town debut at the County Ground on 12 August 2017.[12] After a fairly inconsistent first season for Swindon Town, he got injured in April in a home match against Yeovil Town. This injury ruled him out for the rest of the 2017/18 season and the first 2 months of the 2018/19 season. He made his return on 9 October 2018, coming on as a second half sub in an EFL Trophy group stage match against Plymouth Argyle and scoring within ten minutes.

On 14 September 2020, Woolery joined League Two side Tranmere Rovers on a free transfer.[13] He scored his first goal for Tranmere in an EFL Trophy tie against Wigan Athletic on 11 November 2020.[14]
Motherwell edit
On 22 June 2021, Woolery signed for Scottish Premiership side Motherwell on a three-year contract, with the manager Graham Alexander quoted as saying, "Kaiyne is a player I’ve admired for a few years now".[15] On 14 July 2022, Motherwell announced that Woolery had left the club to join TFF First League club Sakaryaspor for an undisclosed fee.[16]
In January 2023, Woolery joined Super League Greece side Ionikos on a free transfer.[17]
