Perth Scorchers spinner Brad Hogg has re-signed for BBL05.

The jovial and much loved 44-year-old will play his fifth season at the Scorchers, after being Perth's most economical bowlers over the competition's four year history.

โ€œEach year becomes more special because it can't last forever. That's the beauty of age; you know your strengths and don't take yourself too seriously,โ€ Hogg said.

โ€œI said I'd play as long as I still have something to contribute and as long as my ageing body doesn'tย  let the team down, so it's a year by year thing for me at nearly 45.

โ€œThankfully, the body is holding up, I'm feeling as fit as ever, so I'm thrilled to be back for the fifth year of BBL.โ€

Hogg has taken 40 wickets in a 35 game BBL career.

The Scorchers announced the news yesterday via this hilarious video on Facebook.
