Richard Hodgson (born 1 October 1979) is an English former professional footballer.

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 11 March 2000 in Scunthorpe's 3–0 defeat at home to Cambridge United. However, Hodgson was replaced by Wayne Graves at half-time and did not 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]
