Bodin began his career with Swindon Town, spending periods on loan to Torquay United and Crewe Alexandra.

On 2 October 2010, Bodin followed in his father's footsteps by making his first-team debut for Swindon Town as a late substitute in a 2–1 League One defeat to Dagenham & Redbridge, replacing Thomas Dossevi.

[8] He made his Torquay debut in a 1–1 draw with Dagenham & Redbridge on 27 August 2011, coming on as a substitute and winning a penalty, which was converted by Rene Howe.

[10] After leaving Torquay, Bodin paid tribute to Ling, crediting his tactical changes with stopping the club's nosedive at the start of the season.

[22] He also scored against Dagenham & Redbridge[23] and high-flying Plymouth Argyle,[24] to finish the season with 5 goals, helping his side to achieve promotion to Football League One.

[29] Bodin scored his first two goals of the season with a brace on 8 August 2017, in a 4–1 EFL Cup victory over Cambridge United, his second match of the campaign.

[31] On 7 October 2017, Bodin opened the scoring as Rovers defeated his former club Northampton 6–0 away from home; however, in doing so he suffered an injury that kept him out of the team for over a month.

[43] On 8 July 2024, Bodin returned to League One following his release from Oxford United, joining Burton Albion on a two-year deal.
