Joe Hodge M CD Tondela b.2002

Hodge has been recovering from a groin injury on 5 October. Returned to action as a sub in Sunday's draw with Burton Albion. Keen to make up for lost time while on loan from Wolves.

Seems to be the story of his career so far. He's generally either injured or not getting picked for whichever team he is on loan at.

Hopefully gets an injury free run.

That was some city team he won the fa youth cup with...class of 92 only city flogged most of them off.

Hopefully Hodge gets a clear run for a while.

Interesting one for Hodge, looks like hes going to Tondela in the Portuguese top division. Would say that league is ideal for him if hes going kick on as a senior footballer

A small club, just promoted, in a town about the size of Kilkenny and with an average attendance last year of less than 2,200 - saying that - half the teams in the top division have attendances of less than 5,000

They are a tiny club, but the overall standard in that league is good

**John83** · 09/07/2025, 2:27 AM

It's heavily scouted for that reason too.

Best of luck to him. I really like him be nice if he got a season injury free and played 40 games

I think more than anything staying injury free for a season would be key.

Its only about an hour from my brother in laws and they have a home game when Im there at Xmas. Might be worth a little trip if hes in the team

Move confirmed

Crikey. As a permanent move that's underwhelming

**Razors left peg** · 18/07/2025, 8:20 PM

Why underwhelming? Its a great league for him to develop

**pineapple stu** · 18/07/2025, 8:35 PM

A newly-promoted Portuguese side? Almost certainly bottom half the coming season you'd imagine. Yeah, it's a scouted league but you'd really want to stand out in that kind of team.

Pádraig Amond went the same route and got a move to Accrington Stanley out of it. And that was at a better small side who'd been in Europe a couple of times

It will be interesting to see how it goes for him. He was making no impact at all in England, even down in League 1, so his options were never going to be great.
