After impressing at the programme's winter trials in 2004[1] , Hodnett was part of the MCC Young Cricketers from 2005 to 2008, and made his List A debut for the Marylebone Cricket Club in 2008 against Bangladesh A at The Racecourse, Durham.[2] In this match, Hodnett took the wicket of Naeem Islam in the Bangladesh A first-innings, conceding in the process 43 runs from 10 overs. With the bat, he scored 6 runs before being dismissed by Dolar Mahmud. Bangladesh A won the match by 80 runs.[3] He took a Second XI Championship hat-trick against Northamptonshire II at Brunton Memorial Ground, Radlett in 2008, becoming the first MCC Young Cricketer to take a hat-trick in the Second XI Championship.[4] Hodnett was included in Nottinghamshire's 2009 preseason plans but did not feature during the regular season due to injury.[5]

In 2010, he made four Minor Counties Championship appearances for Berkshire against Wales Minor Counties, Cheshire, Shropshire and Cornwall.[6][7]
