Career
Hodge began his career in Scotland with Scottish League Division One side Rangers, but made only 12 appearances for the club.[2] He moved to England to join Division Three South side Brentford in August 1927. Initially appearing as a wing half, an injury to Tom Adamson in October 1929 allowed Hodge to blossom as a full back.[2] Hodge was part of the Bees side which was crowned Division Three South champions at the end of the 1932/33 season, making a career-high 32 appearances.[3] In Division Two, Hodge lost his place at full back to Arthur Bateman and departed the club in 1935.[2] Hodge made 125 appearances and scored one goal during his seven years at Griffin Park.[2]
Personal life
Hodge had a brother who was also a footballer and played for Clyde.[2]
