Hodges yesterday announced that he would have liked to have signed for the mariners but that he didnt have much chance due to Grimsby struggling abit with a few lads contracts.
He remained upbeat after leaving though saying 'There are a few clubs sniffing around at the moment so I'll sit tight and wait and see what happens'.
It is likely that the state of Grimsby's finances played a big part in Hodges not signing for the Mariners as the Grimsby squad today voted unanimously against chairman Peter Furneaux's proposed pay cut.
As a result Danny Coyne and Phil Jevons have been transfer listed in an attempt to raise some much needed funds for the first division outfit.
