Falkirk Football Club has announced a significant development with the signing of Nicky Hogarth to a two-year contract extension, keeping him at the club until June 2028.
Hogarth, who has made 44 appearances last season and played four times this season, joined Falkirk from Nottingham Forest’s youth team in 2023. His performance has garnered praise, with manager John McGlynn stating, “He’s shown everyone that he is more than capable of playing in the Premiership.”
Being from the area, Hogarth expressed his pride in representing the club, saying, “Being from the area and knowing what this club means to the supporters makes it really special to represent Falkirk.” This extension reflects the club’s confidence in his abilities and potential for future contributions.
In addition to Hogarth’s contract news, Falkirk is preparing for an upcoming match against St Mirren, scheduled for March 21, 2026, in the William Hill Premiership. Tickets for this match are priced at £25 for adults, £19 for concessions, £13 for those under 18, and £5 for children under 12.
Meanwhile, the community is also concerned about the disappearance of Thomas Wild, a 22-year-old from Falkirk, who was last seen on March 7, 2026. Personal items and clothing belonging to Wild were discovered on a beach in Dalgety Bay, prompting police to conduct searches in the area and inquiries in Falkirk and Grangemouth.
Inspector Simon Kinyua stated, “Thomas was last in contact with his family on Sunday, March 8, and they are becoming increasingly concerned for his well-being.” The police are actively seeking information to locate Wild and ensure his safety.
As Falkirk navigates these developments, the club’s commitment to its players and the community remains evident. Hogarth’s extension is a positive note amidst the ongoing concerns for Wild’s safety, highlighting the dual narratives currently unfolding in Falkirk.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any further developments in the search for Thomas Wild, but the community continues to rally in support of his family during this challenging time.
