Lee James Stephen Hodson (born 2 October 1991)[4] is a professional footballer who plays for National League club Eastleigh.

He has represented the latter country at youth, under-19 and under-21 levels, and in November 2010 was called up to the senior Northern Ireland team for the first time.

He was involved with "Borehamwood 2000", a football scheme run by Boreham Wood, before joining Watford's youth system.

[10] Following two separate injuries to club captain Jay DeMerit early in the 2009–10 season, Adrian Mariappa moved to central defence, and Hodson started to play regularly in the Championship at right back.

[11] Hodson played in every Watford first team game in September and October 2009, and by November he had earned himself a three-year professional contract with the club.

[13] However, following the arrival of left-back Andrew Taylor on loan from Middlesbrough, Hodson faced competition from Doyley for his place at right-back.

[20] He featured regularly in subsequent months; by 3 March 2012 Hodson had made 20 league starts, although that date marked his last appearance in the 2011–12 season.

[25] On 29 June 2016, Hodson joined Scottish Premiership side Rangers on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

[41][42] In March 2010 Northern Ireland under-21 manager Steve Beaglehole claimed that the English FA had approached Hodson with a view to him switching his allegiance to England.

[40] Hodson remained with Northern Ireland, and made his debut call up to the senior squad in November 2010, for a friendly against Morocco.

[13][45] In 2011–12, Hodson played his first games in the UEFA European Football Championships, in Northern Ireland's qualifiers against Estonia and Italy.
