Hodge was spotted by Plymouth Argyle while playing for the amateur team Southport Trinity and was given a trial by the Devon club. He signed as an apprentice for Argyle, and graduated through their youth scheme to make his debut during the 1977–78 season. He signed as a professional in February 1977, as he turned 18 years old. He played five times during 1977–78 and then forced his way into the first team to be the regular goalkeeper for 1978–79. Argyle had a pretty average season in Division Three that year but Hodge's form caught the eye of Everton and he signed for them in July 1979 for a fee of £135,000. The 20-year-old Hodge had been signed by Everton as second choice keeper to George Wood, however Hodge forced his way into the first team in November 1979 with his good early form and played 23 league matches that season plus an FA Cup semi-final against West Ham United. After that first season Hodge's opportunities were limited by the arrival of Neville Southall and he had spells on loan at Preston North End, Oldham Athletic and Gillingham before moving to Sheffield Wednesday in the summer of 1983 in a £50,000 deal.The most expensive item with a signature of Martin Hodge (MARTIN HODGE EVERTON 1979-1981 ORIGINAL HAND SIGNED CUTTING/CARD) was sold in September 2016 for £5.50 while the cheapest item (MARTIN HODGE PLYMOUTH EVERTON LEICESTER SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY AUTOGRAPH) found a new owner for £0.99 in July 2022.
