Hood appeared for St Sidwell’s United, predecessor club of Exeter City, towards the end of the club’s first season. 

Having joined the new St Sidwell’s United club, that had been formed in 1901 largely by a group of 16- and 17-year olds who had attended St Sidwell’s school and lived close to the current St James’ Park, he isn’t recorded as playing until the game against Exeter United on 19 April 1902. With records not being complete for that season, he may have played on other occasions before and after that game. There is no record of him playing in any other game for St Sidwell’s.
