Matthew James "Matt" Bodkin (born 16 September 1986 in Chatham, Kent) is an English footballer, currently playing as a winger for Grays Athletic.
Bodkin began his career as a trainee with Nottingham Forest, turning professional in May 2003. He failed to make the first team with Forest and was released in May 2004. In August 2004, Bodkin joined Gillingham,[1] making his debut in the 1-0 FA Cup defeat away to Portsmouth on January 8, 2005.[2] His league debut came the following week when he replaced Andy Hessenthaler as a second-half substitute in the 1-0 win at home to Plymouth Argyle. He made one further appearance, away to Leicester City on January 22nd before being released by Gillingham at the end of the season,[3] joining Welling United in August 2005.[4] His form for Welling was impressive enough to earn an invitation to join pre-season training with Gillingham in 2006,[5] but a move back to league football did not materialise.
Bodkin left Welling to join Grays Athletic in December 2006, attracted by a return to full-time football.[6] In February 2007, he was allowed to join Conference South side Thurrock on loan.[7]
On August 21, 2007, Bodkin was sent on loan to Dartford, dropping down three leagues to the Isthmian League Division One North. Exactly a month later he rejoined Thurrock on loan until the end of the season.
