WESTS TIGERS skipper Brett Hodgson is preparing to farewell the place where it all began against Melbourne at Campbelltown Stadium tomorrow night.

The 30-year-old, who is joining Huddersfield at the end of the season, will play his final match at the venue where he made his first-grade debut more than 11 years ago.

The Tigers' remaining home games will be played at ANZ Stadium and Leichhardt Oval, meaning Hodgson must make an early farewell to the home ground of his first club, Western Suburbs.

"I love the place, it's where I grew up," Liverpool-born Hodgson said of Campbelltown Stadium, where he made his first-grade debut as a 19-year-old against South Queensland in 1997. "As a kid I always wanted to play there in the finals and things like that.

"Even when I was younger, in under-11s and -12s, we played our grand finals there so it's always held something special for me, that ground. On top of that I debuted there and started off at Wests Magpies there so it's definitely a place I love."

A self-confessed victim of the salary cap, Hodgson realised there was no room for him at the club in 2009 and a lack of interest from rival clubs meant he had little choice but to finish his career overseas.

He predicted the occasion would hit home the fact his days in the NRL were numbered.

"It's going to be a little bit sad, there's no doubt about that, although I don't think there'll be any tears or anything of that nature," said Hodgson, who played four seasons with Parramatta before joining the merged Wests Tigers.

"It gets a little bit sadder the more you get to knowing and realising that it is my last year in the NRL."
