Richard Hodgson (born October 1, 1979 in Sunderland) is an English former professional footballer. He currently plays for Sunderland Nissan.
Hodgson began his career as a trainee with Nottingham Forest, turning professional in October 1996. He was released in March 2000, having failed to break into the first team, and joined Scunthorpe United on non-contract terms. His league debut came on March 11, 2000 in Scunthorpe's 3-0 defeat at home to Cambridge United. However, Hodgson was replaced by Wayne Graves at half-time and didn't feature for Scunthorpe again.
In August 2000 Hodgson joined Darlington, making over 100 first team appearances before joining Farnborough Town on a free transfer in August 2003.[1] He had a two-day trial with Bristol Rovers in December 2003.[2] He moved to Stevenage Borough in March 2004,[3] but struggled to establish himself. He joined Forest Green Rovers on loan in August 2004 and in October 2004 moved to Crawley Town.[4] However he was with Crawley for only 48 hours before moving to League Two side Cambridge United on a free transfer.[5] He left Cambridge in January 2005 [6] and played in Malaysia for Pahang.
In June 2005, Hodgson re-joined Crawley Town.[7] Later that year he joined Carshalton Athletic, moving to Gravesend & Northfleet in December 2005[8] until his release at the end of the season.[9]
He subsequently returned to Farnborough, but when work commitments led to a move back to his native north-east, he joined Blyth Spartans in March 2007.[10]
He moved to Sunderland Nissan early in the 2007-08 season.
