David Hodgson vows to end Giants season on high note

Aug 23 2008 by Chris Roberts, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

FIT-AGAIN Giants winger David Hodgson is determined to finish a season of massive disappointment on a high.

The 27-year-old’s debut year at Huddersfield has been destroyed by injury and he will be making just his seventh appearance of the Super League campaign in tomorrow’s final home game of the season against in-form St Helens (3.00).

But the Great Britain winger is determined to mark the occasion by producing his best display in the claret and gold to make sure he hits the ground running in 2009.

“I’m pleased with the way my form’s been coming together,” said Hodgson, who finally made his eagerly-awaited debut at Saints on June 29 after suffering a serious knee injury in pre-season training.

“To have scored four tries in my first six games is probably about as good as I could have hoped at this stage, but I still know I can do a lot better.

“I’m still trying to settle into the side at the moment and find a bit of form, but I definitely feel as if I’ve got a lot to build on and I hope to be able to give even more to the side against Saints this weekend.”
