Club president Peter Gerhard said they were very happy to re-sign Wooden who took them to a decider in his first season in 2017, and a preliminary final last year.
"Absolutely. He's done the job for us, taken us to the finals series every year he's been involved so far and we're looking like being there again this year," Temora president Peter Gerhard said.
"He's stepped up another level this year, with the training. He's changed it up a bit and everyone's responding. It's a pretty close-knit group. They're going alright, they just haven't quite clicked fully on the ground yet but hopefully they do it at the right time of the year, which is coming up."
Gerhard praised Wooden and his family's commitment to the club.
The coach is rapt to have the Roos' reins for another year.
"I'm stoked. I really love the club here and enjoy the people and the community so it was a no-brainer, I jumped at it," Wooden said.
"It's a great playing group to coach so I'm excited for next year but I'm also excited by what we can do this year.
"I think we've got a team capable of doing some good things. We just need some more consistency in our efforts."
Temora are fourth on the ladder, two points behind East Wagga-Kooringal and three wins clear of Coleambally and the Northern Jets, who they play this week.
Wooden, 31, said the desire to return to a grand final is strong, with the memories of a four-point loss to Marrar two years ago still raw.
"Absolutely, it's still motivation for me and for the players I think," he said.
"Obviously you're never going to get that back but it's definitely been in the back of my mind and you can tell it's in the minds of the leadership group and the players that played in that. It was so close.
"We've still got a good team capable of doing that, I think, so it's exciting.
"We've just got to be more consistent and I think if we can do that, we'll be back in the mix. We're in the mix now but we think we could be there on the day if we can play more consistent footy."
Wooden said the move allows them to get on with planning for next season with Temora confident they have at least 80 per cent of their players returning for 2020.
It's his second contract extension at the club, after re-signing for two years in the middle of 2017 when he had the club on track for a return to finals in his first season.
