Joe Hodge

In the heart of Wolverhampton Wanderers' midfield, Joe Hodge stands out as a promising defensive midfielder with a mature style of play for his tender age of 22. His ability to retain possession is a cornerstone of his game, showcasing a calmness under pressure that belies his years and hints at high potential. Hodge is no slouch when it comes to creativity either, often crafting chances from deep with an impressive range of passing. His progressive passing stats are particularly noteworthy, demonstrating a penchant for driving the team forward with incisive balls that cut through opposition lines. Defensively, he's reliable in one-on-one situations, although there's room for improvement when defending in his own penalty area. While his goal threat is commendable for a defensive role, it’s his ball recovery and retention that truly define his contribution on the pitch. As he continues to hone his craft, Hodge could well become a linchpin in any midfield, blending defensive solidity with a creative edge.
