Career

Having come through the club's academy,[3] Hudson first appeared on the bench for Preston North End in early 2015 in an FA Cup fourth-round tie against Sheffield United,[4] and made his professional debut aged 17 as a replacement for future England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford who was sent off in the 30th minute of a 1–0 away defeat at Leeds United on 20 December 2015.[5] Leeds scored the only goal of the game through an Alan Browne own goal in the 46th minute, while Pickford's red card was later rescinded.[5][6] Hudson signed his first professional contract in January 2016, with the deal lasting 18 months and having the option for a further year.[7] He won Preston's scholar of the year award for the 2015–16 season.[8]

He did not make a first-team appearance during the 2016–17 or 2017–18 seasons,[9] but agreed a new two-year deal with the club in June 2018,[10] and joined League Two side Bury on loan until January the following month.[11][12] He made his debut for the club on 4 September 2020 in a defeat away to Rochdale in the EFL Trophy,[13] and made a total of four appearances for Bury, all of which coming in the EFL Trophy.[9]

With Hudson contract set to expire in summer 2020, it was extended by two years in June 2020.[3] On 23 October 2020, he joined Bamber Bridge on loan until 28 November 2020.[14][15] He made his debut for the club the following day in a 2–1 defeat at home to Buxton.[16]
