Paul Sidney Hodder (born 13 April 1965)[1] is a New Zealand rugby union coach, and former rugby union player and cricketer.
Rugby union
Hodder was born in Hamilton, New Zealand.[2] He played under-age rugby union for Waikato and New Zealand, and played 10 senior matches for Waikato in 1985.[3] He spent the 1990s in the north-east of England as a professional, playing for and coaching Middlesbrough and West Hartlepool.[4]
Hodder returned to New Zealand in 2001, working as a rugby development officer and high performance manager with Waikato Rugby.[4] He then spent four years in Japan as coach of the Kamaishi Seawaves. When the city of Kamaishi suffered extensive damage in the 2011 tsunami, the rugby ground became a relief hub, and Hodder and his team took a prominent part working voluntarily in local relief operations.[5]
Since 2015 Hodder has worked as rugby and cricket coach at St Paul's Collegiate School in Hamilton, New Zealand.[4] One of the boys he coached there is Samisoni Taukei'aho, who is now an international player.[6] In 2021 Hodder was appointed the school's Director of Rugby. He is also Head Coach of the Waikato Chiefs under-20 development team and is a coaching developer at the University of Waikato.[7]
Cricket
An all-rounder, Hodder played under-19 cricket for Northern Districts from 1981 to 1983.[8] He played in four List A cricket matches for Northern Districts in 1986–87.[1]
