Wolves midfielder set for summer departure
Wolves midfielder Joe Hodge is set to join Portuguese club CD Tondela in a permanent move.
The 22-year-old has two years left on his Wolves contract but is due to leave on a free to join the Portuguese top flight club.
The terms of the move are still be negotiated but it is expected to include a sell on percentage, which has been reported on the continent to be between 20-30 per cent.
Hodge is now due to leave Wolves after four years at the club, following his move from Manchester City in 2021.
The midfielder came through the Wolves academy and was given his breakthrough under Julen Lopetegui before signing a new long-term contract in January 2023.
He was in Lopetegui's plans for the following campaign but once he left and Gary O'Neil was appointed, Hodge did not get the same opportunities and was later injured, requiring surgery on his shoulder.
He spent the second half of the 2023/24 campaign on loan at Championship side QPR, before spending last season on loan at League One Huddersfield, where he played regularly either side of a lay off with a groin injury.
Once the League One season was over, Hodge returned to Compton but was not given a chance with the first team and trained with the under-21s.
He will now leave the club on a permanent basis.
