North Albury lodge clearance to lure Albury recruit Sam Hodge to Bunton Park

Similar to former Wagga Tiger Shaun Driscoll, who recently left Albury to join reigning premiers Lavington because of a lack of senior opportunities, a clearance is in for athletic big man Sam Hodge to cross to North Albury from the Tigers.

The former Victorian Amateur Football Association player was a two-pointer at Albury, but with ex-AFL players Anthony Miles and Jeff Garlett on the Tigers' list at six each and Griffith brothers Jacob and Lucas Conlan fours, there's no room to budge.

Hodge was among Albury's best in its reserve grade win against the Hoppers on Anzac Day, but could find himself lining up for North Albury less than a week later.

North Albury has lost its opening four games by an average of 116 points and take on Wodonga at John Flower Oval on Saturday.
