He made more than 100 appearances at Vicarage Road, including four years with the club and being named Player of the Season in 1989, before moving to Crystal Palace in the summer of 1990. His time with the Eagles was brief, and the winger went on loan to Sheffield United, where he was subsequently linked up with former manager Dave Bassett. Hodges' form was impressive, and he had a string of key goals before the move was made permanent for £410,000 with the support of a Sheffield United Grand National Sweepstake ticket purchased by Sheffield United supporters.
Hodges' five years at Bramall Lane were fruitful, and he became a fan favorite during his stay. In a 5th round cup tie win over Bramall Lane, Hodges was notably the winner against Manchester United.
Hodges made over 150 appearances for the Blades before joining Derby County for a brief period in 1996. After a year in Hong Kong with Sing Tao, Hodges returned to England for a short time at Hull City. Nonetheless, a big club clause in his deal enabled him to move to Nottingham Forest to work as a potential coach once more. However, Hodges was drafted as a player due to a slew of injuries at the start of the 1998–99 season. Brief spells at Total Network Solutions and Scarborough followed until Hodges retired in 2000.
Coaching career
In August 2000, the Dons man met with his old friend Bassett at Barnsley to reconnect with him. His time with the reserves saw the team regularly compete for awards both in league and cup.
Following Nigel Spackman's dismissal and was in charge of just four games before Steve Parkin went back to Rochdale to take over The Tykes, he was appointed caretaker boss for the first time back in October 2001.
Parkin's tenure was only nine months as he was fired, with the club going into administration after being relegated to Division Two. Hodges was hired again as the caretaker boss and remained in charge for the remainder of the season until the summer of 2003. Hodges was replaced by Gudjon Thordarson, who was part of the club's consortium that acquired the club in June 2003, putting the team in dire financial difficulty.
Glyn Hodges joined Mark Hughes in the Wales International team in early 2004, becoming Wales Under 21 manager. Despite making "good strides," Glyn was booted from his position after John Toshack's shake-up of the Football Association Wales staff in December 2004.
Mark Hughes, Glyn's former manager, was then appointed as the head of the Blackburn Reserve team. After a month of delays, Glyn revealed in July 2008 that he was to leave Blackburn Rovers whereupon, and he was soon to move to Manchester City, where he was named as Reserve Team Manager.
