Michael George Hoganson (born 3 October 1993) is an English footballer who plays as a left-sided defender and midfielder[1] who plays for Whickham in the Northern Football League. He previously played in the Football League for Derby County.

Playing career

Hoganson joined Newcastle United in 2008,[1] during his time at The Magpies Hoganson mainly played for the under 18-side, featuring occasionally in Peter Beardsley's reserve team squads,[1] but never featured in the first team before he was released in the summer of 2012.[2]

After his release by Newcastle, Hoganson went on trial at League Two side Northampton Town[3] and impressed manager Aidy Boothroyd, who offered him a one-year contract.[3] However Hoganson went on trial at Championship side Derby County,[4] which annoyed Boothroyd who jokingly said ahead of a pre-season game against Derby, "I'll run on and kick him myself. I'll run on and two-foot him and his agent,"[4] Boothroyd left the offer open for Hoganson despite this.[4] Although Hoganson was left out of Derby's squad in the pre-season game against Northampton, Derby manager Nigel Clough said that he wanted another look at him after he impressed in a friendly against Burton Albion.[5] [6] On 7 August 2012, Hoganson joined Derby County on a one-year contract,[2] with Nigel Clough stating that Hoganson would mainly play for the under-21 side in the new Professional Development League 2 North,[7] but would also provide cover at left back and left-sided midfield in the first team.[2] Hoganson made his competitive first team début in a 3–1 win against Middlesbrough on 1 January 2013, as an 87th minute substitute for Conor Sammon.[8] Hoganson was given his first start in a 0–0 draw at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers on 16 February 2013,[9][10] covering for the suspended Gareth Roberts at left back.[10] After a run of three consecutive starts, Hoganson lost his place in the team to the returning Roberts and Watford loanee Craig Forsyth, so Hoganson returned to the under-21 side where he remained a regular throughout the season and was rewarded in May by an offer of a new one-year contract.[11]

Hoganson featured for the first team in pre-season ahead of the 2013–14 season with a highlight being a long range goal he scored in a friendly game against Port Vale.[12] Hoganson will act as cover for Craig Forsyth at left back, as well as feature for the under-21 side. On 18 March 2014, Hoganson joined Conference side Alfreton Town on loan until 26 April 2014.[13]

With his contract due to expire, Hoganson was released by Derby at the end of the 2013–14 season.[14] He subsequently returned to the North East of England to play Non-League football, initially with Newcastle Benfield F.C before joining Spennymoor Town in 2015.[15] He then joined Bishop Auckland in February 2016.[6]
