Joe Hodge move to Derry on loan confirmed.

At his age I see this as a massively positive move. Citys U23 squad is extremely competitive to get into, especially for an 18 year old, and he's out grown their underage teams.

To get mens football at this stage of his development will hopefully help him physically too.

Kenny has talked in the past of fast tracking him so I wouldn't be at all surprised if he got a call up to the senior team if he does well at Derry.

Watched the premier league under 23 final tonight against West brom. Hodge played all the game and extra time. He really is a fabulous prospect as a defensive midfielder. So composed ,, tidy on the ball , looks to pass forward and really keen to run with the ball into attacking areas. Scored his pen. Harkin scored for wolves in normal time

Great to hear. It was a shame he couldn't get going for Derry. Would have been nice to see him for a season.

Harkin makes Hodge look like a giant. He has a really good scoring record this season for Wolves Under 23, but you'd wonder if he's going to be good enough to compensate for his height to the extent that he can make it at a decent pro level. Hodge obviously not the tallest either, Wolves seem to have signed our small lads for some reason.

Let’s see how Hodge gets on if he gets a chance a senior football at a reasonable level. I’ve always been concerned with his size, even before his unfortunate injury. It will be interesting to see where he is at the start of next season when he turns 20
