Ben Woolley serves in the rank of Lance Corporal in the 1st Logistic Support Regiment of the Royal Logistic Corps . He contested his first international race in 2009 in Ridnaun as part of the IBU Cup . However, he did not finish his first individual. In the following season Woolley was able to reach the goal for the first time in a sprint race in Ridanna and be 150th. It took another season until he achieved his best result so far in 2010 in his sporadic appearances in the second highest racing series in Martell as 82nd of a sprint. The first major event was the 2011 European Biathlon Championships in Ridanna, where the Briton was registered for three races but did not finish any regularly. He did not finish the individual and did not compete in the sprint. With Pete Beyer , Carl Gibson and Simon Allanson , he was 17th with the relay, which, however, could not finish the race as a detached relay.

In 2011 he repeated these successes with the same line-up and also won silver with James Sanford , Walker and Kelly in the military patrol race. In this competition he was able to achieve his first national success with the runner-up title in 2008, when he was still running for the 17th Port and Maritime Regiment .
