Career
Hodge began his career in Scotland with Scottish League Division One side Rangers, but made only 2 appearances for the club. 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. Hodge was part of the Bees side which was crowned Division Three South champions at the end of the 1932–33 season, making 25 appearances. In Division Two, Hodge lost his place at full back to Arthur Bateman and departed the club in 1935. Hodge made 125 appearances and scored one goal during his seven years at Griffin Park.
