Time with Queens Park Rangers
Hogan officially joined Queens Park Rangers on January 2, 2008. He signed a contract for three and a half years. He felt it was a great time to be at QPR because the new owners had big plans.
Hogan became a regular player as QPR worked to get promoted. He scored 3 goals during the 2010-2011 season. QPR then moved up to the Premier League. However, many new players joined the team, which meant Hogan had fewer chances to play.
