Hogg to leave Worcester Warriors
By Iain Strachan
Worcester Warriors have confirmed head coach Carl Hogg will leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the Premiership season.
Hogg was part of the coaching team that helped Worcester gain promotion from the Championship in 2015.
The announcement of Hogg's impending departure follows the appointment of Alan Solomons as director of rugby in December, succeeding Gary Gold.
Worcester are second from bottom in the Premiership, nine points clear of last-placed London Irish.
Warriors chairman Bill Bolsover said in a statement: "I wish to place on record the club's thanks to Carl for his unstinting commitment during his time at Sixways and wish him well in his next role, where I am sure he will add real value."
Hogg added: "I am looking forward to focusing on the next stage of my rugby journey.
"Worcester Warriors have experienced some turbulent times since I arrived five seasons ago but I feel proud to have navigated the club through this difficult and volatile period.
"Importantly we have ensured Premiership rugby at Sixways since returning to the top flight.
"With the appointment of Alan Solomons as director of rugby, now is the right time to take up my next challenge in coaching.
"I have experienced a huge amount over the last five seasons at Warriors and wish the club every success in the future."

Even with absences we still had the cattle to make the playoffs. As it was, we nearly stumbled our way into the top 8. Which shows just how easy it was to get there. And still we failed. As for Razor, there are many instances of him patching up the Crusaders roster. Numerous. Several players Id never heard of. Also, using AB legend John Afoa was a classic.
But, some of the games we were losing were from schoolboy errors, or downright confusion. Either the players were really dumb (they weren’t) or they were poorly coached. Given the repetitive nature of errors, brain fades, poor decision making, & loose structures, this all lands with the coaching group.
With only six playoff spots now in SR, & Aussie franchises now consolidated to four, 2025 looks like a tight one. We'll have to tough it out under Penney & hope for the best.
