If anyone had a bit of cheek and dared ask you, "Who's Nicky Hogarth?", you'd raise an eyebrow and answer curtly – "Why, he's the toddling Falkirk goalie, of course." Born on a pleasant 4th of July in 2001, he hails from a place where banter is as strong as the beverages - Scotland. At a solid 5ft 11in in height (or 1.82m for any continental folks among you), and tipping the scales at 11st 6lb (or 73kg in the more enlightened metric system), he's just about the size you'd expect a keeper to be. And when he's between the posts, you won't miss him, as he's swanning around in the number 1 jersey.
Now, if we're talking pounds and pennies, Hogarth's current market value is worth a mention. The chaps over at Transfermarkt peg it at around £100k. Not exactly pocket change, but not a king's ransom either.
Let's throw a magnifying glass over his career, shall we? He first donned his gloves professionally with the Rangers, signing on as a wet-behind-the-ears trainee back in July of 2017. A few negligible loans latter, which saw him punted to Stirling Albion and Cowdenbeath respectively, Hogarth found himself trotting all the way down to the Premier League's Nottingham Forest in July of 2021.
Of course, the lure of haggis and Irn-Bru proved too strong, and by August of 2022, he was back on Scottish soil with Falkirk, albeit on loan. He eventually made the switch permanent in July 2023, after which the appearances started to rack up. From a modest 15 appearances in his debut season (2022-2023) to a full workload of 36 games in the subsequent season, it's been uphill for our lad. And yes, he did manage to squeeze in one appearance for the current season (2025-2026).
For those keeping track, Nicky was also given a run out in the League Cup 2025-2026 with two starts for Falkirk. So, there you have it - a brief run-down of Nicky Hogarth's career. Not the stuff of legend, perhaps, but few can say they've played in goals from Rangers to Falkirk.
