Hogan established himself on the national senior circuit in 2010 with three wins on the Yellow Pages Series and his first national title. He claimed his first major medal at the 2010 African Championships in Athletics soon after, taking the bronze medal. He represented Africa at the 2010 IAAF Continental Cup, coming eighth. He won a second South African title in 2011, but this was marred by an incident where an official was struck by Hogan's discus on the field.
