‘I recently left Leicester City F.C. after playing there for 10 years.
‘Can play anywhere in midfield, two footed so can play either wing.
‘I’ve got that never give up attitude which is why I’m still on the search and quitting will never cross my mind.
‘If anyone knows about any trials popping up or clubs that are releasing players and are in need of new, please let me know.’
Incredibly, Hodby has received more than 600 likes and 250 comments on his post, with various people suggesting trial opportunities or flagging up clubs’ officials to take a look.
