Background:
Signed for Wycombe by Gareth Ainsworth on 28 October 2014 having been released from Queens Park Rangers at the end of the 2013/14 campaign. Had played on trial for Wanderers during pre-season 2014/15 and eventually agreed to join up with his former colleague at Loftus Road. Speaking of the deal, Ainsworth said: "The fact that we’ve signed a player of Hogan’s quality shows that players are looking at Wycombe in a different light now. He’s a great attacking option to us and he has an ability on the ball which will stand out in League 2. I want to add more goals to his game but the chances he creates will be a massive positive for us. He’ll bring flair and he’ll fit straight in as he knows a couple of the boys (Paul Hayes and Gary Doherty) from his time at Charlton. Hogan is the type of player who can win a game with one moment of magic and I’m really excited to bring him here"

The former England U16, U17, U18 and U19 started his pro football at West Ham as a trainee in July 2004 and made his senior debut as substitute during a League Cup victory over Sheffield Wednesday in September 2005. However, had to wait until a loan spell with Colchester United the following season before adding to his senior experience. In the 2007/8 season he was signed on loan by John Gregory at QPR for a three month spell. In January 2008 he made the move to QPR permanent - signing a three and a half year deal for an undisclosed fee.

Was a regular in the QPR time that gained promotion to the Premier League in 2010/11 but his opportunities became limited the following season (just two Premier League appearances) and was subsequently loaned out to Charlton Athletic and Bristol City. Had a spell playing for Toronto between February 2013 and June 2013 before returning to First Team action in the UK on loan at Peterborough United in 2013/14 but was red carded in his final appearance away to Carlisle United on 29th December 2013.

His next competitive appearance would be his Wanderers debut as substitute away to Oxford United on 1st November 2014. However, injury restricted his Wycombe showings until the New Year where he would score his first (and only) Wanderers goal with the winner in the 1-0 victory at Cambridge United on 7th February 2015. Mainly used as substitute but was a key player in Wycombe's run in to the 2014/15 season, making starts in the 2nd Leg Play-Off Semi-Final victory over Plymouth Argyle and then the Final at Wembley versus Southend United where he was substitued after 85 minutes before Wanderers eventually lost on penalties.

Offered a new contract at Wycombe at the end of the 2014/15 season but nothing came of the talks and by the time the 2015/16 season had got underway, the former QPR player was assumed to be seeking his football elsewhere.
