Durham announced on 23 October 2026 that Daniel Hogg has signed a one‑year contract extension, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2028 season. The deal adds an extra year to his previous agreement, which was due to expire at the close of 2027.
Hogg, a 21‑year‑old seamer, progressed through Durham’s academy, having joined the club at the under‑13 level. He made his first‑class debut with a seven‑wicket haul for 66 runs against Nottinghamshire at the Riverside in August 2024. Since that breakthrough performance, he has taken 17 wickets in eight County Championship matches, his most recent outing coming against Yorkshire at Headingley in September 2025.
The 2026 campaign proved challenging for Hogg, who missed several matches due to side‑and‑wrist injuries. Having recovered, he will spend the upcoming winter playing club cricket for Swanbourne in Perth, Australia, to build match fitness ahead of the 2027 season.
What did Hogg say about signing the extension?
Hogg described the extension as a “welcome surprise,” especially given the limited time he has had on the field due to injury. He expressed gratitude for the support from Durham’s coaching staff and praised the club’s confidence in his future potential.
“I’m so pleased to sign an extension with Durham – the past few years have been tough with lots of injuries. To sign an extension without much time on the pitch was pretty surprising but also good to know that Cambo is backing me. I am very much looking forward to the next couple of years with Durham as we strive for further success,” Hogg said in an official club statement.
What does Ryan Campbell make of Hogg’s potential at Durham?
Ryan Campbell, Durham’s Director of Cricket and High‑Performance Coach, highlighted Hogg’s strong work ethic during his injury‑affected periods as a key factor in the club’s decision to extend his contract. Campbell believes the seamer’s promising breakthrough season and his dedication in the gym demonstrate the high potential he still holds at 21. He added that a further season of club cricket in Australia is central to the plan for restoring Hogg’s fitness and positioning him to compete for a first‑team spot in 2027.
“Dan had a really impressive breakthrough season a couple of years ago but unfortunately has suffered a few injuries since then meaning he hasn’t been on the park as much as he would have liked. He has continued to work really hard in the gym, and we know how much potential he has at 21‑years old. I believe he deserves this extension giving him another two years to work on his game and develop as a cricketer, which will hopefully see positive rewards over the next few years. With another season playing in Australia, we hope to see him back fit and firing ahead of the 2027 season and competing for a place in our 11,” Campbell said.
