Bermuda Hogges is an Bermudian professional soccer team, founded in 2006. The team is a member of the USL Second Division, the third tier of the American Soccer Pyramid.

They currently play at the Bermuda National Stadium in Hamilton, Bermuda. The team is currently coached by Kyle Lightbourne. The team's colors are red, green and white.

The club was started by Bermuda legend Shaun Goater, coach Kyle Lightbourne, and Paul Scope to develop the level of play in Bermuda, with the aim of a more competitive national team.

The name "Hogges" was suggested by the team's owners following a fan contest. It comes from the hog's long association with Bermuda, and the toughness of the animal. [http://www.bermudasun.bm/main.asp?SectionID=8&SubSectionID=203&ArticleID=32133&TM=42162]

2008 Roster

International Hogges

The majority of the Hogges' current first team squad - including Stephen Astwood, Damico Coddington, Darius Cox, Devaun De Graff, Timothy Figureido, Damon Ming, John Barry Nusum, Michael Parsons, Jelani Scott and Kwame Steede - are also full Bermudian international players, and have represented their country in World Cup and CONCACAF Gold Cup qualifying games. Shaun Goater and Kyle Lightbourne were also Bermudian internationals until their retirement from international football, making the Hogges' by far the most experienced USL2 team in terms of international competition.
