Hodgson bounces back

STAR Canberra hooker Josh Hodgson’s return from an ACL injury has been even better than he expected.

The English international has slotted seamlessly back into the Raiders side despite only having knee surgery in December.

While Hodgson has dominated in his two appearances, he says he can’t get complacent with his rehabilitation.

“I felt really good going into the games and the knee’s been pulling up really well, no real stiffness,” Hodgson said. “I’ve been working really hard when I was injured on the rehab but this is the most important part now when I’m playing not to get a bit complacent.”
