Stuart Hogg (born 24 June 1992) is a Scottish rugby union player who plays for Scotland and Glasgow Warriors. He plays full-back, occasionally covering the stand-off or centre positions.
He was a pupil at Trinity Primary School and Hawick High School. He played at Hawick Wanderers, Hawick and Heriot's. He has represented Scotland at under-17, under-18, and under-20 level before he went on to gain full international honours.
Hogg made two Warriors appearances in season 2010–11 and began the 2011–12 RaboDirect PRO12 campaign as the club's starting full-back. He was named in the Pro12 Dream team at the end of the 2012/13 season. It was announced in November 2014 that Stuart Hogg had signed a two-year contract extension with the Glasgow Warriors, keeping him at the club until at least May 2017.
He gained his first cap for the Scotland national rugby union team after earning a call up to Andy Robinson's 36-man squad for the 2012 Six Nations following a series of impressive performances for Glasgow. Hogg impressed on his debut against Wales in Cardiff, coming on as a substitute following injury to Max Evans. However, he was denied a try on his debut by the referee wrongly calling for a knock-on in the build up to his crossing the line. Hogg was subsequently named in the starting line-up for the first time for the match versus France. He scored his first try for Scotland in the 8th minute against France.
In the RBS Six Nations 2013 he scored his second and third international tries against England in Round one and in Round two he scored a fantastic try against the Italians an intercept try from his 5-metre line and ran 95 metres to score his third international try
He was one of the four Scotland players called up for the Lions squad for the 2013 British and Irish Lions tour to Australia and was the youngest player on the 2013 tour.
He is also briefly mentioned on Pottermore, in an excerpt written by J.K. Rowling for the website, suggesting that he and fellow players Jim Hamilton and Kelly Brown are in fact squibs – wizard-born with no magical powers – masquerading as muggles. In a tweet, J.K. Rowling later insinuated that Hogg was, in fact, a full-fledged Wizard.
