Stuart William Hogg was born on 24 June 1992 in Melrose in the Scottish Borders. He was raised in the nearby town of Hawick. In interviews he has said he “just love[s] going back home” to Hawick and enjoys the strong community support there.

Hogg attended Trinity Primary School and then Hawick High School in Hawick. He began playing rugby at a young age: as a schoolboy he was part of a strong Hawick school rugby team and later recalled that he “absolutely loved playing” during those years. His father, John Hogg, was the first person to put a rugby ball in his hands, sparking Stuart’s passion for the sport.

Stuart grew up in a rugby-oriented family. His father, John, had been a championship-winning full-back for Hawick RFC, and his older brother, Graham Hogg, went on to play for Scotland in the World Rugby Sevens Series. These family connections meant that rugby was an everyday part of his upbringing.

Early Career

Stuart Hogg joined the Glasgow Warriors in 2010 as a promising young fullback. Over nine seasons with Glasgow he became a key player, making 109 appearances and scoring 29 tries. He played a significant role in Glasgow’s success, including the team’s 2015 PRO12 championship victory. Early in his career Hogg made an immediate impact for example, scoring a hat trick against Munster in the 2011/12 season and in 2017 he became the youngest player in Warriors history to reach 100 games. During this period he also broke into international rugby, earning his first Scotland cap in 2012 and accumulating over 60 caps by the time he left Glasgow.

Career Growth & Key Roles

Hogg’s move to the English Premiership came in 2019 when he signed for Exeter Chiefs. He quickly became a linchpin of the Chiefs’ attack at fullback, and club officials praised his ambition and counter attacking skills. Hogg himself later said of the transfer that “in terms of rugby it’s the best thing I’ve ever done,” reflecting the positive impact on his career. His contributions helped Exeter Chiefs secure a remarkable double in 2020, winning both the Premiership title and the European Champions Cup that season.

He became Scotland captain in early 2020 and served in that role through the following seasons. Hogg was widely regarded as one of Scotland’s most influential backs and reached his 100th cap in 2023, a milestone his coach described as a fitting reward for a career of achievements. Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend praised Hogg’s on field skills, calling him “an outstanding player” whose “basic skills and speed set him apart” from other backs. Hogg’s reputation was further recognized with selection for the British & Irish Lions tours of Australia (2013) and New Zealand (2017), confirming his standing at the highest levels of the sport.

Recent Developments

In July 2023, Hogg announced his retirement from professional rugby after concluding his time with Exeter Chiefs. He initially cited his body’s inability to sustain the demands of international play as the reason for stepping away. However, in mid 2024 he reversed his decision and returned to the sport by signing with Montpellier Herault Rugby in France’s Top 14 league. The club announced a two year contract (with an option for a third) for the experienced fullback. In September 2024 Hogg made his first competitive appearance for Montpellier, starting at fullback in the Top 14 season opener. He thus resumed his career in France, continuing as a senior fullback in club rugby.
