Jonathan Lee Hogg (born 6 December 1988) is an English professional footballer who plays for Huddersfield Town as a central midfielder. He previously played for Watford and Aston Villa, and spent periods on loan at Darlington and Portsmouth.
Hogg was born in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire. A midfielder, he began his football career as a junior with hometown club Middlesbrough before joining Aston Villa. His progress was interrupted by a cruciate ligament injury in March 2007, but he came back to become Villa reserve team's leading goalscorer as they won the 2008–09 Premier Reserve League Southern section. Handed a two-year contract in July 2008, he was part of Villa's squad that won the 2009 Peace Cup, a pre-season tournament. On 19 August 2010, Hogg made his first competitive start for Aston Villa in the 1–1 draw away to Rapid Vienna in the Europa League Play-off round. Due to injuries to several other midfield players, he made his Premier League debut in the home match against Manchester United on 13 November 2010. In December 2010, Hogg signed a new contract to tie him to the club until 2013.
In November 2009, Hogg joined League Two's last-placed side Darlington on loan for six weeks. He made his debut in the Football League on 21 November away to Chesterfield; he played the whole game, and scored in the 87th minute to set up a close finish, but Chesterfield's Scott Boden scored twice very late in the game to make the final score 5–2.
