Huddersfield Town v Leyton Orient: Jonathan Hogg on his future - and potential for farewell but not goodbye
Namely, his team-mates, with a fair number of players who are also out of contract also highly likely to be saying their goodbyes.
It may yet be farewell but not goodbye for club captain Hogg, 36, who is due to hold talks with owner Kevin Nagle next week, with the potential being for him to remain at the club in another capacity.

Hide AdBut today is about Hogg’s sign off as a player, with fans having been urged by the club to show their appreciation for the midfielder’s exemplary 12-year playing career with Town – the last remaining on-pitch link from the feted David Wagner era.


On his send-off, he said: "I am glad and it’s a nice touch from the club, to be honest.
"There’s other lads in similar positions who have obviously not been here as long and gone through the rollercoaster I have, but who still don’t know what’s going on, so it could be their last game too. So we need to make the most of it.
"It’s been a massive part of my life and so have the fans, since I have been here, they have been great and some of the messages I have got when the announcement came out were quite touching, to be honest.”

Hide AdTown are currently without a sporting director and full-time head coach and once those appointments are finalised, there still remains the potential for Hogg to have some sort of role with the club going forward.


He added: "I am going to sit down and hopefully have a chat with the owner next week.
"He sent me a lovely message, which was really nice of him. We will have a chat and see where it lies.
"We’ll see what happens, I am not going to close any doors and say I am retired as I am not. If there’s an opportunity and I fancy it, I might go for it.

"So when they are in power and people are through the doors, there are decisions to be made.”
