The 27-year-old Dutch midfielder, who has not played since sustaining cruciate knee ligament damage in the 3-2 home defeat to Birmingham City on 21st November 2008, played for the final twenty minutes of the goalless draw against Bristol City on Tuesday night.

"I'm really, really happy to be back," Bodde told BBC Sport.

"I wasn't nervous beforehand but very excited as I have been waiting a long time for that.

"It was especially pleasing to come on in a home game.

"I'm thankful for the crowd. The comeback went well and I tried to do my thing but sadly no goals.

"I'm really pleased at how it feels straight after the game."
