Jack Hobbs Biography

Jack Hobbs is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on August 18, 1988 in Portsmouth, Portsmouth, United Kingdom. Jack Hobbs (born 18 August 1988) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for EFL League One club Bolton Wanderers.

Hobbs made three appearances for the England under-19 team in 2007 UEFA European under-19 Championship qualification.

Hobbs has also been capped at the national youth level and made three appearances for England U19 in 2007.

On 16 May 2008, BBC Sport wrote that Hobbs was indecisive about whether to fight for first-team opportunities in Liverpool or to join another club for more playing opportunities. Hobbs said wherever he went, he would look to play first-team football. On 25 May, Hobbs signed for League One club Leicester City on a season-long loan deal. On joining the club, he said he wanted to help Leicester win promotion to the Championship. He made his debut for the club in a pre-season match against Kettering Town, playing 80 minutes of a 4–1 victory. His competitive debut came on 9 August in a 2–0 victory over Milton Keynes Dons, when he came on as an 88th-minute substitute for Aleksandar Tunchev. Hobbs scored his first goal on 24 January 2009, scoring the last goal in a 4–2 victory over Huddersfield Town. In February 2009, he was red carded in a match against Bristol Rovers for fouling Darryl Duffy. However, the resultant penalty by Rickie Lambert was saved by Mark Bunn. Leicester manager Nigel Pearson commented that the red card was unfortunate, as he believed the foul was not intentional. In his first season with the club, besides winning the League One title and achieving promotion to the Championship, Hobbs was also included in the PFA Team of the Year. He was also voted as the club’s Young Player of the Year, as he made 44 appearances, where his team conceded 37 goals.

At the end of the season, Hobbs was linked with a move to the Premier League with Arsenal. However, the deal fell through because Arsenal demanded the removal of a sell-on clause from the transfer deal. Tottenham Hotspur and Bolton Wanderers also expressed their desire to sign the defender. He finally signed for Liverpool on his 17th birthday on 18 August 2005. Commenting on the transfer he said: “This is unbelievable. I’m still pinching myself and it is a real opportunity for me.” He made his debut for the reserves in a 3–2 defeat at the hands of Everton. Praising his performance, coach Hugh McAuley said that he played “very well”. He was also a part of the reserve squad which won the 2006 FA Youth Cup by defeating Manchester City 3–2 in the final. In a friendly match against German club 1. FC Kaiserslautern in June 2006, Hobbs made an “error”, which allowed Ricardo Villar to score against goalie Jerzy Dudek. Hobbs was deployed in the back alongside Gabriel Paletta in the following friendly against Grasshopper Club Zürich. The Liverpool Echo wrote that he “made a spirited recovery” and was “blameless on this occasion”.

Hobbs progressed through the Lincoln City youth set-up and, at the age of 14, scored his first goal in his fourth appearance for the under-19 team in a 1–1 draw with Bradford City on 22 March 2003. In March 2004 he accepted a three- year scholarship with the Imps, commencing at the start of the 2004–05 season. He made his league debut on 15 August 2005 against Bristol Rovers, as a substitute for Matt Bloomer. At 16 years and 149 days, he became the club’s youngest ever debutant, breaking a record that was previously held by Shane Nicholson.

A graduate of Lincoln City academy, he made a single appearance for the League Two club in 2004 before signing for Premier League club Liverpool. His playing time there was limited, so to gain first-team experience Liverpool loaned him out to Scunthorpe United and then to Leicester City. In 2009, he signed permanently with the latter and went on to make more than 100 appearances in the three seasons he spent with the club. After a stint with Hull City between 2011 and 2014, where he was also the club captain for the 2011–12 season, he joined Nottingham Forest. Though initially on loan, he later penned a two-year deal. His stint at the club was hampered by persistent injuries.

Hobbs made his debut as a substitute against Reading in the League Cup on 25 September 2007 in a 4–3 win. Hobbs later made his first start for Liverpool against Cardiff City in the League Cup on 31 October 2007, playing all 90 minutes, and gaining praise from pundits and teammates for his composed performance. On 2 December, Hobbs made his league debut against Bolton Wanderers, replacing Jamie Carragher in the home match. A week later, he made his first start for the team in a league match in an away match with Reading. In January 2008, he signed for Championship club Scunthorpe United on a loan deal until the end of the season. Manager Nigel Adkins described Hobbs as a composed player, and they signed him to help the team retain their Championship status. He scored his first senior goal on 15 February against Stoke City. In his spell with Scunthorpe, Hobbs made nine appearances, scoring one goal.

He ultimately signed a loan deal with Nottingham Forest, with a condition that it would become permanent with Hobbs signing a two-year contract at the end of the 2013–14 season. Manager Billy Davies said that he was pleased to bring Hobbs to the club. Hobbs said that it would be an honour for him “to play for a club the size of Nottingham Forest”. He made his club debut in a 1–0 victory over Huddersfield Town, where he blocked a strike of opposition striker James Vaughan. He scored his first goal on 28 September in a 1–0 victory over Derby County, heading in an Andy Reid corner before half time. This goal was voted September’s Bed Chambers Dream Moment of the Month. On 24 January 2014, Hull recalled him because of an injury to defender James Chester. However, on the deadline day of the transfer window, (31 January), Hobbs signed permanently with Nottingham Forest on a four-and-a-half-year contract, in a deal reported by Sky Sports to be worth “close to £1million”. He said that he was thrilled and had always wanted to play for the club. After signing, he played twice before being ruled out of the rest of the season due to an ankle fracture in March.
