Omar Bogle

On 31 January 2020, Bogle joined Eredivisie club ADO Den Haag on loan until the end of the season.

Bogle's loan at Birmingham was cancelled by mutual agreement on 28 January 2019, and later that day he joined Portsmouth of League One on loan until the end of the season. He scored on his debut the next day in a defeat away to Luton Town, and produced an equaliser against Doncaster Rovers on his Fratton Park home debut in his next match.

On 1 February, Bogle joined Peterborough United on loan until the end of the 2017–18 season. He scored his first goal for Peterborough in a 2–1 win over Walsall on 27 February 2018.

On 7 August 2018, Bogle joined Birmingham City on a season-long loan. He made his debut as a second-half substitute in a 1–0 defeat away to Middlesbrough, and made three league starts during August. However, as Che Adams began to develop a productive partnership with Lukas Jutkiewicz – both had ten goals by mid-December – Bogle became increasingly peripheral, losing his place on the bench to youngster Beryly Lubala. According to manager Garry Monk, not having spent pre-season with Birmingham had made it difficult for Bogle; "he was just so eager to score a goal when he first came in and that probably distracted from the other work that needed to be done." He worked hard to regain a place on the bench, and scored his first goal for the club on 26 December with a shot from distance to secure a 2–0 home win against Stoke City.

In January 2017, Championship side Rotherham United had 3 separate bids turned down by Grimsby for Bogle, a further bid by the club was also rejected. Bogle was also subject of an enquiry by fellow Championship sides Leeds United and Brentford. Premier League sides Hull and Swansea joined the race, along with Championship pair Norwich and Reading for his signature.

On 31 January 2017, Bogle signed for Championship side Wigan Athletic on a two-and-a-half-year deal for an undisclosed fee; this included a number of additional clauses, if Wigan maintained their Championship status in the current season, return to the Premier League, also a sell-on clause.

His first goals came when he made his full debut on 7 February 2017, the game finishing a 2–2 draw at home to Norwich City; his first came from a header from a Michael Jacobs corner to equalise on 62 minutes, then 6 minutes later he scored from a free-kick from the right side edge of the area into the far corner. Bogle scored his third and final goal of the 2016-17 Championship campaign from the penalty spot in a 2–1 defeat at Queens Park Rangers.
