Christopher Francis Hogg (born 12 March 1985) is an English former footballer. He is currently the Assistant Head Coach of EFL Championship club Bristol City.
Hogg started his career with the York City youth system in 1997, captaining England at under-15 level. He signed for the FA Premier League team Ipswich Town for a compensation fee of £150,000 in June 2001. Hogg was twice loaned to the Third Division club Boston United before, because of financial restrictions at Ipswich, he was transferred to Hibernian in January 2005.
Hogg initially struggled to establish himself in the Hibernian first team, but he started to win a regular place from January 2007 under the management of John Collins. Hogg was made captain at the beginning of the 2009–10 season, after Rob Jones moved to Scunthorpe United. Hogg lost his place in the Hibernian team during the 2010–11 season, however, and subsequently moved to Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
Born in Middlesbrough, [2] Hogg was educated at Conyers School, Yarm. [3] He started his career with the York City youth system in 1997 and had a trial at Manchester United in 2000. [4] He signed for FA Premier League team Ipswich Town for an initial six-figure compensation fee on 29 June 2001. [5] [6] The fee has since been reported as £150,000. [7] He signed a professional contract with Ipswich on 12 August 2002. [2]
Hogg joined the Third Division team Boston United on a one-month loan on 9 October 2003. [8] He made his debut two days later in a 3–1 victory over Cheltenham Town. [9] He made eight appearances before returning to Ipswich in November. [10] [11] He rejoined Boston on another one-month loan on 12 December and made five appearances during this spell, [10] [12] leaving the club in February 2004. [13]
Because of the financial restrictions at Ipswich, Hogg was transferred to the Scottish Premier League club Hibernian on 31 January 2005, even though he was unavailable for two months. [14] This was due to Hogg being severely injured whilst trying to prevent a car robbery in Middlesbrough earlier that month. [15] Tony Mowbray, who was then the manager of Hibernian, was aware of Hogg from his time coaching at Ipswich. He made his debut in a 4–0 defeat to Hearts on 7 August. [16] He signed a new contract with Hibernian in October that would expire in June 2009, with Mowbray saying "Chris is a model professional for a young man of 20. He deserves his new deal and I know there's more to come." [17]
Hogg initially struggled to establish himself in the Hibernian first team, but he started to win a regular place from January 2007 under the management of John Collins. He played in the 2007 Scottish League Cup Final against Kilmarnock, which Hibernian won 5–1. [18] Hogg formed a solid defensive partnership with the captain Rob Jones, and in June 2007 he signed a contract with Hibernian until June 2011. [19] Hogg was made vice-captain at the start of the 2007–08 season following the departure of Scott Brown to Celtic. [20] Hogg was voted the club's Player of the Year by both the fans and his fellow players at the end of the 2007–08 season. [21]
During the early part of the 2008–09 season, Hogg played on for over a month despite suffering from concussion. [22] After spending a few weeks resting, he admitted that he had been "foolish" to initially play on, in a desire to retain his first team place. [22] Hogg was made the new captain at the beginning of the 2009–10 season, after Rob Jones moved to Scunthorpe United. [23] Despite his status as captain, Hogg was dropped from the starting line-up early in the 2010–11 season to make way for new signing Francis Dickoh, who made his debut in a 1–1 draw against Inverness CT. [24] the Hibernian manager John Hughes praised the performance of Dickoh, who offered a greater physical presence. [24] After Hughes left the club in October, Hogg was reinstated to the starting line-up at right-back by the caretaker management team of Gareth Evans and Alistair Stevenson against Kilmarnock. [25] [26] Hogg scored the two goals that gave Hibs a 2–1 win. [25] [26] It was the first time in over four years that Hogg had scored a goal, his only previous senior goal also being scored against Kilmarnock. [26]
Hogg lost his place in the team soon afterwards, however, and on 31 January 2011 he was released from his contract. [27]
Hogg signed a short-term deal for Inverness Caledonian Thistle after he was released from his contract by Hibernian. [27] He scored a goal on his debut for Inverness, in a Scottish Cup tie against Morton. [28] [29] Hogg left Inverness at the end of the 2010–11 season. [30]
Following a spell training with his home town club, Middlesbrough, and a trial with Crewe Alexandra, [31] [32] he re-signed with Inverness on a one-year contract on 29 July. [33] Hogg suffered what appeared to be a serious knee injury in a match against Dundee United on 10 December 2011. [34] His manager, Terry Butcher, described it as "one of the worst knee injuries we've seen". [35] After a successful operation on his knee, Hogg was offered a new contract by Inverness in January 2012. [36] [37] [38] Hogg made his first competitive appearance since recovering from injury on 4 May 2013, in a 4–3 win against Motherwell. [39] Hogg's contract with Inverness CT expired at the end of the 2012–13 season. [40] He elected to leave the club despite being offered a one-year extension. [40]
In January 2014, Hogg signed for Needham Market. [41] He left Needham in September 2015 to take up a full-time coaching role within the Ipswich Town Academy.
While a York player he captained England at under-15 level, [5] making his debut in a 1–0 defeat to Northern Ireland on 20 October 2000 in the Victory Shield. [42] He made another appearance in the Victory Shield, also playing three games in the Walkers Under-15 Tournament and four games at the Montaigu Tournament. [42] He made his under-17 debut after starting a 2–1 defeat to Italy on 12 July 2001 and went on to score his first goal in a 2–2 draw with Slovakia on 13 February 2002. [43] He then played for the under-17s at the 2002 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship and played in five of a possible six games, with England finishing the tournament in third place. [43] Hogg finished his time with the side with 11 caps and two goals. [43] His debut for the under-18 team came after starting in a 4–0 victory over Tunisia on 14 November. [44] He then played in three of England's four games at the 2003 Meridian Cup and his last appearance at this level came in a 0–0 draw with Switzerland on 12 March 2003. [44] Hogg's debut for the under-19s was a 3–2 defeat to Germany on 24 April and went on to make a further three appearances for the side. [44] [45]
Hogg played as a centre back and was described as "solid and self-reliant". [46] The Crewe Alexandra manager, Dario Gradi, described Hogg as "decent in the air", despite his relative lack of height for a centre back. [32]
Hogg retired from playing in 2015 to take up a full-time coaching role within the Ipswich Town Academy. He subsequently worked for their under-18 and under-23 teams, and was added to the first team coaching staff during the 2018–19 season. [47] Hogg moved to Newcastle United in February 2020, working with their under-23 team. [47]
On 13 August 2021, Hogg was appointed Assistant Head Coach of League One side Milton Keynes Dons, assisting the newly appointed Liam Manning. [48] Following a poor start to the season, Hogg departed the club alongside Manning on 11 December 2022. [49]
In March 2023, following Manning's appointment at Oxford United, Hogg again followed him as assistant head coach. [50]
On 7 November 2023, Hogg followed Manning as his assistant once again at Championship club Bristol City. [51]

Kevin McBride is a Scottish football player and coach.
Season 2007–08 for Hibernian could be split into three distinct parts: a great unbeaten start to the Scottish Premier League season that temporarily took the club to the top of the league; a terrible middle phase which saw a long winless run and the resignation of John Collins as Hibs manager; and, finally, a modest recovery under the management of Mixu Paatelainen, who was appointed in January 2008. This took Hibs into the top half of the SPL, but short of third place and the UEFA Cup spot, which was won by Motherwell.
Season 2006–07 was a mixed season for Hibernian; their league form suffered from extended cup runs, and they eventually finished sixth. The reward for their cup form was a first trophy in 16 years, thrashing Kilmarnock 5–1 in the final to lift the CIS Cup. Hibs were knocked out of the Scottish Cup in a semi-final replay by Dunfermline.
Liam Craig is a Scottish former professional footballer. He is an attack-minded creative midfield player who operates on the left side of midfield or in a central position. He has played for Falkirk, St Johnstone and Hibernian during a sixteen-year career. Upon retiring at the end of the 2020–21 season, he became a coach with St Johnstone.
Paul Thomas Hanlon is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a defender for Scottish Championship club Raith Rovers. He began his senior career with Hibernian, making his debut in 2008, and went on to make over 500 appearances for the club. He also briefly played for St Johnstone on loan during the 2008–09 season.
Season 2008–09 for Hibernian was their tenth consecutive season of play in the Scottish Premier League. The SPL season began on 9 August 2008 with a 1–0 defeat at Kilmarnock. The team were eliminated from each cup competition at the first hurdle, due to defeats by IF Elfsborg in the last Intertoto Cup, Greenock Morton in the Scottish League Cup and Edinburgh derby rivals Hearts in the Scottish Cup. The team was inconsistent in the league, and only squeezed into the top six by a single point ahead of Motherwell. This led to the resignation of manager Mixu Paatelainen at the end of the season. One bright spot for the club was the performance of the under-19 team, which won the Scottish league & cup double.
Season 2005–06 was a season of missed opportunities for Hibernian. The team started strongly in the league, winning 10 of their first 14 games, but this form dipped after Christmas. The Scottish Cup seemed to be opening up for Hibs after they defeated Rangers 3–0 at Ibrox in the fourth round, but they then lost 4–0 in an Edinburgh derby semi–final against Hearts. Hibs lost 3–0 in the quarter–final of the Scottish League Cup at Dunfermline, and were well beaten by Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk in the UEFA Cup.
Season 2010–11 for Hibernian was their 12th consecutive season of play in the Scottish Premier League. It was the first season played in the redeveloped Easter Road stadium, with its capacity increased to over 20,000 for the first time since it became an all-seater stadium in the early 1990s. The SPL season began on 15 August 2010 with a 3–2 win at Motherwell. Hibs competed in the UEFA Europa League, losing 6–2 on aggregate to Slovenian club NK Maribor. They also lost at the first stage of competition in the Scottish League Cup, losing 3–1 at Kilmarnock. Those cup defeats and a poor start to the league season led to manager John Hughes leaving by mutual consent in early October. Colin Calderwood was appointed as the new manager, but struggled to make any sort of impression, as they were knocked out of the Scottish Cup by Ayr United and fell into a relegation battle. A winning streak after the January transfer window meant any danger was quickly averted, but the team still finished in the bottom six.
Darren McGregor is a Scottish football coach and former player, who is currently a coach at Scottish Premiership club Hibernian.
The 2005–06 season was the 125th season of competitive football by Heart of Midlothian, and their 23rd consecutive season in the top level of Scottish football, competing in the Scottish Premier League. Hearts also competed in the Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup.
Season 2011–12 for Hibernian was their 13th consecutive season of play in the Scottish Premier League (SPL). The season began on 24 July with a 2–0 home defeat by Celtic, who eliminated Hibs from the Scottish League Cup. With the club near the bottom of the league, manager Colin Calderwood was sacked and replaced with Pat Fenlon in November. Fenlon made several signings during January that helped the club to avoid relegation from the SPL. Hibs also reached the 2012 Scottish Cup Final, but this was lost 5–1 to local rivals Hearts.
The 2012–13 season was Hibernian's fourteenth consecutive season in the Scottish Premier League, having been promoted from the Scottish First Division at the end of the 1998–99 season. The club improved on its league performance in the previous season by finishing 7th in the 2012–13 Scottish Premier League, but were eliminated from the 2012–13 Scottish League Cup in the second round by Queen of the South. Hibernian progressed in the 2012–13 Scottish Cup to the 2013 Scottish Cup Final, but this was lost 3–0 to league champions Celtic.
The 2013–14 season was Hibernian's fifteenth consecutive season in the top flight of the Scottish football league system, having been promoted from the Scottish First Division at the end of the 1998–99 season. Having lost the 2013 Scottish Cup Final to league champions Celtic, Hibs entered the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League, but suffered a Scottish record aggregate defeat against Swedish club Malmö in the second qualifying round. Hibs also competed in the 2013–14 Scottish League Cup but lost to Heart of Midlothian in the quarter-final at Easter Road. Days after that defeat, manager Pat Fenlon resigned and was replaced with Terry Butcher. Hibs were knocked out of the 2013–14 Scottish Cup in the fifth round by Raith Rovers. A long winless run to finish the 2013–14 Scottish Premiership season meant that Hibs finished in 11th place, and they were relegated after a playoff against Hamilton Academical.
The 2019–20 season was Hibernian's third consecutive season in the top tier of Scottish football, the Scottish Premiership, having been promoted from the Scottish Championship at the end of the 2016–17 season. Hibs finished seventh in the league, which was curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They lost to Celtic in the semi-finals of the League Cup and Hearts in the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup.
