Jonathan Hogg

Jonathan Lee Hogg (born 6 December 1988) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for and captains EFL League One club Huddersfield Town.

[3] On 19 August 2010, Hogg made his first competitive start for Aston Villa in a 1–1 draw away to Rapid Vienna in the Europa League Play-off round.

Owing to injuries to several other midfield players, he made his Premier League debut in the home match against Manchester United on 13 November 2010.

[14] Hogg had the assist for one of English football's most famous goals,[15][16] when his knockdown of a Fernando Forestieri cross in the 96th minute of the second leg of the 2013 Championship Play-Off Semifinal drew out Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.

Hogg and Deeney celebrated the winner by leaping into the Graham Taylor stand at Vicarage Road, part of the ensuing celebratory pitch invasion at Watford's home ground.

Despite being a first-team regular at Watford, Hogg joined Huddersfield Town on a three-year contract on 29 July 2013, motivated by family reasons to request the transfer.

[20] On 9 August 2017, manager David Wagner appointed Tommy Smith as the club captain with Hogg and German defender Christopher Schindler as his deputies.

[21] During his eight seasons at Huddersfield to date, the tough-tackling central midfielder has become a crowd favourite,[citation needed] making over 250 appearances for the club.

[22][23] Hogg scored just his second goal for Huddersfield on 7 April 2021, a header from a corner, which proved to be a consolation in a home 2–1 defeat to AFC Bournemouth.
