Hodgkiss made his senior debut in the FA Cup third round match against Reading on 17 January 2006 at the Madejski Stadium. His Premiership debut came on 7 May, coming on for Steve Watson on the last match day of the season, at Goodison Park against Everton. In August 2007 Hodgkiss signed a new two-year deal at Albion.[2] His full league debut was in a 2–1 win away at Leicester City on 8 December 2007.[3]

In August 2008, he joined Aberdeen on a loan deal until January 2009 and made eight appearances for the Scottish side.[4][5] A second loan spell followed in March, this time at Northampton Town for the remainder of the season.[6] Hodgkiss played five games for the League One club.[5]

Hodgkiss was released by West Brom in the summer of 2009.[7] Since his release from West Brom, Hodgkiss has been looking for a new league club whilst maintaining his match fitness by playing for Market Drayton in the Northern Premier League Division One South.[8]

After an impressive spell with Forest Green, Hodgkiss was awarded a new one year contract for the 2010-11 season.[9] Hodgkiss picked up a knee injury in February 2011 and was forced to have an operation as well as six weeks out on the sidelines.[10][11] In June 2011 Hodgkiss signed a new one year contract with Forest Green.[12][13] In July 2011 it was announced that Hodgkiss would be the new first team captain at Forest Green for the 2011-12 season.[14] On 6 March 2012, Hodgkiss agreed a new extended contract with Forest Green that would keep him at the club until the end of the 2013-14 season.[15]
