Hodgson recently passed 1,000 points at Edgeley Park for Sale Sharks<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sale fly-half Charlie Hodgson says he is focused on Friday’s Premiership game against Exeter despite it being his last home game for the club.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 30-year-old is leaving the Sharks at the end of the season for Saracens.<\/p>\n

“Obviously I’ve got a job to do first and foremost and think about the aftermath once I’ve finished the game,” he told BBC Radio Manchester.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been fortunate to be at a club that I’ve enjoyed being at. Even though I’m going, I’ll always be a Sale fan.”<\/p>\n

Yorkshireman Hodgson joined Sale straight from Durham University, and helped the Sharks win the European Challenge Cup in 2005 and then Premiership title a year later, with victory over Leicester Tigers.<\/p>\n

On the announcement earlier this year that he would leave Sale chief executive Mick Hogan called Hodgson “one of the greatest players to ever play for Sale Sharks.”<\/p>\n

The fly-half said he considered staying at Edgeley Park following director of sport Steve Diamond’s return to the club, but ultimately he wanted to try something new.<\/p>\n

“I think the fact that Steve came in did throw a bit of a spanner in the works but I was thinking long before he came in of trying something else,” he added.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been around here for 10 or 11 years and an opportunity has come up for me to do that, and not just from the rugby side of things, but a lifestyle and family one as well.”<\/p>\n

Halifax-born Hodgson made his England debut in 2001 against Romania, scoring a record-breaking 44 points in a 134-0 victory.<\/p>\n

He has been capped 31 times by his country but injury and some below-par displays in England colours meant he missed out more caps and selection for the 2007, although he did feature on the 2005 Lions tour of New Zealand.<\/p>\n

Hodgson is the all-time Premiership record goal kicker (612) and points scorer (1,854) but has been part of a Sharks side that has struggled this season and lie in 10th place with two games remaining.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
