Bogle joined National League side Grimsby Town on 15 June 2015 on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[34] Prior to signing, he was surrounded by transfer speculation with numerous clubs reportedly scouting him, Grimsby had outbid a £10,000 sum by Nuneaton Town which was rejected by Solihull.[35][36] Grimsby Town also fended off interest from Gateshead to sign Bogle.[37]Milton Keynes Dons and Port Vale in League One were also confirmed in March 2015 to be weighing up a move for him.[7][38] He made his full debut on 8 August against Kidderminster,[39] and he scored his first goal for Grimsby three days later in a 4–1 home win over Barrow.[40]
Bogle made his League Two professional debut with Grimsby on 6 August 2016, coming off the subs bench in the opening game of the season, a 2–0 win over Morecambe.[44] His first goal came on his full debut on 16 August 2016, in the 3–2 defeat at Colchester; blasting a left footed shot from 18-yards in the second-minute of stoppage time.[45]

On 31 January 2017, Bogle signed for Championship side Wigan Athletic on a two-and-a-half-year deal for an undisclosed fee;[55] this included a number of additional potential financial benefits for Bogle's former clubs if Wigan maintained their Championship status in the current season, or returned to the Premier League.[56] Bogle made his first appearance for the club on 3 February in a 1–0 defeat against Sheffield Wednesday, coming off the bench to replace Will Grigg in the 67th

Cardiff City
On 17 August 2017, Bogle signed for Championship side Cardiff City on a three-year deal for an officially undisclosed fee,[60] although Cardiff manager Neil Warnock later stated that the transfer fee was £700,000.[61] His debut came five days later in a 2–1 loss over Burton Albion in the EFL Cup.[62] Making his first league start for The Bluebirds, Bogle scored his first goal for the club in a 3–1 win over Ipswich Town on 31 October, shortly followed by his second 5 days later against Bristol City, before being sent off in the Severnside Derby.[63][64] Upon his return he scored the third goal in a 3–1 win over Norwich City.[65]

On 7 August 2018, Bogle joined Birmingham City on a season-long loan.[69] He made his debut as a second-half substitute in a 1–0 defeat away to Middlesbrough,[70] and made three league starts during August.[14] However, as Che Adams began to develop a productive partnership with Lukas Jutkiewicz – both had ten goals by mid-December[71] – Bogle became increasingly peripheral, losing his place on the bench to youngster Beryly Lubala.[72] 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,[73] 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.[74]
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.[75] He scored on his debut the next day in a defeat away to Luton Town,[76] and produced an equaliser against Doncaster Rovers on his Fratton Park home debut in his next match.[77]
On 29 January 2021, Bogle joined Doncaster Rovers on an 18-month deal from League One rivals Charlton Athletic having only spent half a season at the south London-based club.[81] He scored his first goal for Doncaster in a 3–3 draw against Hull City on 20 February. After falling out of contention with new manager Richie Wellens, Bogle was transfer listed and urged by Wellens to find a new club having been told he was not in his plans for the season. On 23 August, it was reported by Wellens that Bogle had rejected a move to Bradford City.[82] On 9 September, Grimsby Town manager Paul Hurst, who had previously managed him in his former spell at Blundell Park, confirmed that the club had made contact with Bogle's agent about re-signing him but was told that Bogle did not want to join The Mariners. It was stated that Bogle was training on his own away from the first team,[82][83] though Wellens refuted allegations he had been exiled from the club.[84]
Following the sacking of Wellens in December, Bogle returned to first team duties following the appointment of Gary McSheffrey as his replacement.[85]
