Career
On 19 August 2022, Hoddle joined Northern Premier League Division One Midlands club St Neots Town on a work experience loan.[4] On 11 February 2023, he was named on the substitute bench by Cambridge whilst ineligible due to being on loan at St. Neots following what CEO Alex Tunbridge described as "our own fault and oversight"; Cambridge were fined £12,000 by the FA.[5] On 2 March 2023, he joined Southern League Premier Division Central club Royston Town on loan.[6]
In July 2023, he signed his first professional contract, a three-year deal, after being named the Terry Baker Scholar of the Year and helping the youth team to reach the quarter-finals of the FA Youth Cup.[7] On 5 August 2023, he joined St Albans City in the National League South on loan until the end of the season.[8] He was recalled by newly appointed Cambridge manager Garry Monk on 6 March 2024, having scored four goals, made four assists and won one Player of the Month award at St Albans.[9] He made his debut in the English Football League on the final day of the 2023–24 season in a 0–0 draw at Port Vale.[10]
