Joel Hodgson: Northampton Saints debut an "incredible experience"

Northampton Saints scrum-half Joel Hodgson says that he wants to experience the joy felt on his debut "time and time again".

Joel Hodgson has admitted that he is now hungry to become a regular at Northampton Saints having made his debut against former club Newcastle Falcons last week.

The scrum-half made his first start for the Saints in the 37-23 victory at Franklin's Garden, labelling it an "incredible experience".

"I haven't really stopped thinking about it to be honest," the Northampton Chronicle & Echo quotes Hodgson as saying. "The noise coming out of that tunnel, when we were making a line-break or a good tackle - the stadium seemed to erupt.

"I've certainly not been used to that coming down from Kingston Park. It was an incredible experience and one I hope to repeat time and time again."

Next up for the Saints is a trip to face Scarlets on Friday night.
