However, after a tumultuous year out of the game in which he was plagued by off-field issues including being arrested for alleged domestic abuse, it was announced in July that Hogg would be returning to top-level rugby after signing for Montpellier on a two-year contract. It will be the experienced back’s first outing since coming on as a substitute for previous club Bath in their Champions Cup semi-final against La Rochelle on 30 April 2023.
