Motherwell have signed former Wolves midfielder Joe Hodge from Portuguese side Tondela for an undisclosed fee. Hodge came through the ranks at Manchester City in his home city, but played for the Republic through the age groups and made his full international debut against Canada in June. “He has played in the Premier League against some of the best players in the world and has gained experience in English and Portuguese football. “We feel we play a brand of football that will allow Joe to flourish and develop further. Having watched Motherwell games last season and the games this season, I’ve been itching to get involved.
