Following the departure of Matty Douglas in 2023/24, Hogg then became head coach of the club in March 2024.
Hogg set up the charity Make Minds Move to try and remove stigma around mental health issues, with his friend Adam Clayton from Sussex.
[1] Hogg explained that he set-up the charity to do a cycling challenge to raise monies for mental health:[6] Adam was my captain when I played down south at G-Force in East Grinstead and I gave him a call because I knew he was involved in events and could help me perhaps get the cycling challenge off the ground.
We both played at good levels, but went through a lot of different things and we are really passionate about trying to help guys who are transitioning out of rugby and the younger generation coming through.
We don't want them to get as low as we were at one stage and we hope that Make Minds Move can get more guys talking with their team mates and their former team mates as well as opening up in general with the physical challenges thrown in to really get people focused on something away from the rugby field, but something that is testing and fun.
[1] His father John Hogg won the league with Hawick and is now a rugby union referee.
