Hodson made his first-class debut for Sussex against Kent in 1838. Sussex County Cricket Club was formed the following season, with Hodson playing in the team's first-class debut against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's.[1] In total, he made 51 first-class appearances for Sussex, the last of which came against Surrey in 1854.[1] He took 95 wickets with his roundarm bowling, at an average of 15.58.[2] He took three five wicket hauls during his career, achieving best innings figures against the Marylebone Cricket Club in 1839. Hodson took 8 wickets in the Marylebone Cricket Club's first innings, though his exact bowling figures are not recorded.[3] These figures made Hodson the first person to take a five wicket haul for Sussex County Cricket Club. With the bat, Hodson scored 554 runs at a batting average of 7.48, with a high score of 44.[4] In addition to playing for Sussex, both before and after the county club was founded, Hodson appeared for an England XI, the Players and the All England Eleven.[5]
He died at Hunston Mill, near Hunston, Sussex on 17 March 1879.
