Jonathan Hogg hailed as a 'perfect example' after signing new Huddersfield deal

Hogg, 32, has been a regular for Town since arriving in the summer of 2013 from Watford, making over 250 appearances in all competitions for the club.

Expressing his delight at an extended deal for the Middlesbrough-born player, who has been in excellent form this season, Town head coach Carlos Corberan said: “It’s very positive for the club to extend this contract for two years. Keeping one of our most important players will help to give stability to our project.

"Jonathan has contributed a lot towards the best moments of this club in recent years, and he continues to be a very important player right now, making a very high contribution. I have no doubt that he will continue to do this for the duration of this contract.

“As a coach, it’s a pleasure to work with players who give everything they have. Jonathan is a perfect example to any of our Academy players who train or play with the first team.”

On the retention of Hogg, whose contract was due to expire this summer, Town’s Head of Football Operations Leigh Bromby added: “It’s great news that Jonathan’s time at Huddersfield Town will continue, and that we have come to an agreement that works both for him and the club.

“’Hoggy’ has been a magnificent player for this club over the past seven and a half years and played a huge role in the journey that Huddersfield Town took to the Premier League.

“He also embodies the qualities that we want from our players; not only ability on the pitch, but his attitude and absolutely maximising everything you have. He puts high demands on himself and his teammates and knows what is necessary to be successful in this division.

“He has also shown the ability, at 32, to adapt his game to meet the demands that Carlos puts on a player in his position, which is really important to the way we play.”
