Career
Hogg began his career with home-town juvenile side West Calder before moving to nearby junior side Mossend Swifts. He moved to League side Hearts in 1892 and became a professional the following year, when professionalism was legalised in Scotland. Although primarily a defensive player, earning the sobriquet "Tynecastle Warhorse" as a testament to his power and stamina, he was also capable of playing a more refined game when required.
He played twice for the Scottish national team, both times in 1896.
He made one appearance for the Scottish League representative side. Hogg retired after suffering a serious knee injury during the 1903-1904 season.
He later emigrated to South Africa where he spent the rest of his life.
