Jack Hobbs (born 18 August 1988) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for Championship side Nottingham Forest.

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, and to get him more first team opportunities 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 has been hampered by persistent injuries.

Hobbs has also been capped at the national youth level and has made three appearances for England U19 between 2007 and 2008.

Club career

Lincoln City

Hobbs was born in Portsmouth, Hampshire.[1] He progressed through the youth set-up and, at the age of 14, scored his first goal in his fourth appearance for the Lincoln City U19 side in a 1–1 draw with Bradford City U19 on 22 March 2003.[2] In March 2004 he accepted a three-year scholarship with the Imps, commencing at the start of the 2004–05 season.[3] He made his league debut on 15 August 2005 against Bristol Rovers, as a substitute for Matthew Bloomer. At 16 years and 149 days, he became the club's youngest ever debutant.[4]

Liverpool

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.[5] Tottenham Hotspur and Bolton Wanderers also expressed their desire to sign the defender.[6] 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."[7] He made his debut for the reserves in a 2–3 defeat at the hands of Everton. Praising his performance, coach Hughie McAuley said that he played "very well".[8] 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.[9] 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.[10] Hobbs was deployed in the back alongside Gabriel Paletta in the following friendly against Grasshopper Club Zurich. The Liverpool Echo wrote that he "made a spirited recovery" and was "blameless on this occasion".[11]

Hobbs made his debut as a substitute against Reading in the Football League Cup on 25 September 2007 in the 4–3 win.[12] Hobbs later made his first full debut with 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.[13] On 2 December, Hobbs made his league debut against Bolton, replacing Jamie Carragher in the home match. He made his first start for the team a week later, in an away match with Reading.[14] In January 2008, he signed for Championship club Scunthorpe on a loan deal until the end of the season. Manager Nigel Adkins said that Hobbs is a composed player, and they signed him to help the team retain their Championship status.[15] He scored his first senior goal on 15 February against Stoke City.[16] In his spell with Scunthorpe, Hobbs made nine appearances, scoring one goal.[14]

Leicester City

"When I heard of Leicester's interest they were the club I wanted to join. They're a massive club."

Hobbs about his Leicester move[17]

On 16 May 2008, the BBC 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.[18] 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.[19] He made his debut for the club in a pre-season match against Kettering Town, playing 80 minutes of a 4–1 victory.[17] His debut came on 9 August in a 2–0 victory over Milton Keynes Dons, when he came on as an 88th-minute substitute for Aleksander Tunchev.[20][21] Hobbs scored his first goal on 24 January 2009, scoring the last goal in a 4–2 victory over Huddersfield Town.[21][22] In February 2009, he was red carded in a match against Bristol Rovers for fouling Darryl Duffy. However, the resultant penalty shot by Rickie Lambert was saved by Mark Bunn.[23] Leicester manager Nigel Pearson commented that the decision was unfortunate, as he believed the foul was not intentional.[24] In his first season with the club, besides winning the League One and winning promotion to the Championship, Hobbs was also included in the PFA Team of the Year.[25] He was also voted as the Young Player of the year, as he made 44 appearances, where his team conceded 37 goals.[26]

Hobbs playing for Leicester City in 2010

On 24 April 2009, Hobbs signed permanently with Leicester City, penning a four-year contract. After signing, he said that he believed that with Leicester he could win promotion to the Premier League.[27] He played his first league match against Swansea City in a 2–1 victory.[21] Playing along with Wayne Brown in the centre back position, Hobbs missed two league games in the 2008–09 season,[28] and made a total of 49 appearances.[21] At the end of the season, he won the Player of the Year award, and shared the Players' Player award with Andy King.[28] On winning the Player of the Year award, Hobbs said that he was "honoured to win [the] prestigious award".[29] Hobbs also broke the Guinness World Record on his Leicester Debut for ‘youngest player to play in all four English leagues’ still holding the record today!

Hull City

Hobbs playing for Hull City in 2012

In the 2010–11 season, Hobbs started 23 times for Leicester City. However, with the arrival of Sol Bamba, he found his playing time increasingly limited. With the speculation that Leicester would sign Chelsea defender Jeffrey Bruma on loan, new manager Sven-Goran Eriksson said that he could join another club.[30] After playing 30 times for the club, Hobbs joined Hull City in a season-long loan deal.[31] He made his club debut in a 1–0 away win against Derby County. Failing to break in the first team due to competition from James Chester and Anthony Gerrard, he expressed his desire to return to Leicester once the loan spell ended.[32] Nevertheless, he made 13 appearances for the club during his loan spell.[21]

On 23 July, Hobbs signed permanently with the club, penning a contract keeping him there until 2014. On joining the club, he said that he was delighted to be a Hull City player.[33] He was also appointed as the club captain for the 2011–12 season.[34] Hobbs made his debut for the club in a 1–0 defeat against Blackpool coming as an 87th-minute substitute for Matty Fryatt.[21][35] On 11 February, he scored his first league goal in three years in a 3–0 victory over Bristol City heading a Robert Koren cross from the penalty box.[36] In the following month, in a match against Coventry City, he injured himself while tackling Alex Nimely during the first half's stoppage time, and was taken out of the match.[37] He was substituted by debutant Sonny Bradley. However, two days later, it was announced that he was ruled out of the rest of the season owing to the knee injury sustained during the match. With his injury, as well as Joe Dudgeon being ruled out of the season due to a hamstring injury, and James Chester struggling with the same problem, Hull City found themselves in a difficult situation.[38]

Recovering from injury, Hobbs played his first match in November 2012, in a reserve team match against Peterborough.[39] On 9 December, his first league match came in a 2–1 defeat against Watford, pairing with Alex Bruce at the centre back position.[40] After this match, he started in a match against Huddersfield Town. Praising Hobbs for his fitness, after not playing eight months because of injury, Hull Daily Mail wrote that he was "the professional of the professionals".[41] He played 22 times for the club in the season, which saw Hull City being promoted to the Premier League.[42]

Nottingham Forest

"I just want to play in the Premier League and I'm playing somewhere I think I can achieve."

Hobbs about playing for Nottingham Forest[43]

After Hull City was promoted to the Premier League, the club informed Hobbs that he was no longer required.[42] In July 2013, Sky Sports reported that Nottingham Forest were interested in signing him.[44] 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.[45] Hobbs said that it would be an honour for him "to play for a club the size of Nottingham Forest".[46] He made his club debut in a 1–0 victory over Huddersfield Town, where he blocked a strike of opposition striker James Vaughan.[47] He scored his first goal on 28 September in a 1–0 victory over Derby County heading a corner strike of Andy Reid before half time.[48] This goal was voted September's Bed Chambers Dream Moment of the Month.[49] On 24 January 2014, Hull recalled him because of an injury to defender James Chester.[50] 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".[51] He said that he was thrilled and had always wanted to play for the club.[52] After signing, he played twice before being ruled out of the rest of the season due to an ankle fracture in March.[53]

In August 2014, Hobbs played his first match after his injury in the reserve team 0–0 draw against Burton Albion.[54] However, he injured himself during the East Midlands derby in September. In the following month he underwent surgery which ruled him out of action for three months.[55] On 14 February 2015, during a 4–4 draw against Blackpool, he suffered a hamstring injury and was ruled out of play for a month. The club's manager Dougie Freedman blamed the condition of the Bloomfield Road pitch for the injury.[56] In an interview given by him on 10 March, he said that he was doing well with his rehab, and was hopeful of resuming training from the next week.[57] After recovering from his injury, he played the whole ninety minutes of a match against Brentford in April.[58]

Hobbs played his first match of 2015–16 season in a match against Brighton & Hove Albion. Though the match ended in a 1–0 defeat for Forest, he formed a strong defensive partnership along with Matt Mills.[59] On 28 November, he received a red card in the 66th minute of a 3–1 win against Reading for a challenge on Matěj Vydra.[60] He made a total of twenty three appearances during the season.[61]

Hobbs was dropped from the first team in the first half of 2016–17 by manager Philippe Montanier, but was reinstated after Montanier was replaced by caretaker manager Gary Brazil.[62] On 26 December, he played his first match of the season, starting in a 2–1 defeat against Huddersfield Town.[63] He played this match after recovering from "several niggling injuries".[64] Hobbs played a total of 10 matches in the season.[61]

At the beginning of the 2017–18 season, Ipswich Town expressed their desire to sign Hobbs on a loan deal.[65]

International career

On 18 March 2010, it was announced that England U21 manager Stuart Pearce was looking to give him a call to the squad. Pearce and his coaches described him as a fantastic young prospect, who will be capable of Premier League Football in the future.[66]
