Sam Hodgson is a Spartan
Friday, 15 November 2024
Blyth Spartans are pleased to announce that Sam Hodgson has joined the club from South Shields.
Hodgson is a familiar face at Blyth, having been on loan at the club between January 2023 and February 2023, where he featured seven times.
Last season, the 23-year-old was on loan at Morpeth Town in the NPL Premier Division where he played 43 times for the Highwaymen, scoring 18 times.
This season, he re-joined the Highwaymen on another season-long loan but was recalled by South Shields in September after five appearances, where he scored once. Since his recall he has featured in 10 games for the Mariners in the Vanarama National League North, scoring twice.
On signing for Blyth Sam said:
I'm delighted to sign for the club. Everyone knows the problems they have had and I want to play a big part in the future of this club, score goals, help the lads out and help the club move back up where they belong
On his new forward Michael Connors added:
Sam is a great signing for the club and exactly the type of goal threat we need. He's a player who knows how to find space and knows how to put the ball in the net
Welcome to Blyth, Sam!
