Bodin began his career with Chelsea as a schoolboy, travelling via train to London Paddington station every weekend to train with the club. However, he left Stamford Bridge without making a first team appearance for the “Blues” and moved onto a brief spell with Newport County under manager Len Ashurst, rejecting interest from his hometown side Cardiff City after watching Newport draw 2–2 with German side Carl Zeiss Jena in the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup. As a young trainee player, Bodin’s role at the club included tasks such as helping to paint the stands at the club’s Somerton Park ground. He eventually followed Ashurst to Cardiff and was handed his professional debut on the opening day of the 1982–83 season against Wrexham at the age of seventeen. He quickly established himself in the first team, making over 30 appearances in his first season, helping Ashurst’s “Bluebirds” to promotion into the Second Division, finishing as Third Division runners-up to Portsmouth. Jimmy Goodfellow then led Cardiff to a 15th-place finish in the 1983–84 season, before Alan Durban took charge at Ninian Park and led Cardiff to relegation in the 1984–85 campaign, after which Bodin left the club and joined Merthyr Tydfil.
