Bognor Regis Town
Woon began his career with hometown non-league club Bognor Regis Town, top scoring two seasons in a row to send the club to two successive promotions out of the Sussex League and into the Southern League Division One South. He departed Nyewood Lane in February 1973.
Brentford
Woon joined with Division Three strugglers Brentford on trial in October 1972 and impressed enough to sign a professional contract in February 1973, signing for a £1,000 fee. He had a whirlwind start to life at Griffin Park, becoming the only Brentford player to score a hattrick on his debut and helping to beat Port Vale 5–0 on 10 February. He was the club's second-leading scorer during the 1973–74 season, before falling out of favour with incoming manager John Docherty in 1975 and departing the club at the end of the 1974–75 season.
Non-league football
After his departure from Brentford, Woon played on in non-league football with Southern League sides Maidstone United, Gravesend & Northfleet and Hastings United, with injuries ending his career at the latter club.
