Playing career
The younger brother of former Test centre Bob Hagan, Michael was graded with Canterbury in 1983.

In 1988 Hagan was injured in a car crash but remarkably recovered to play superbly in Canterbury's three finals, scoring a try in the grand final. With Mortimer retiring, Hagan might have had a chance for a permanent position in the halves, but by this time he had already decided to move to Newcastle where he signed with the Knights. Newcastle upon Tyne ( (often shortened to Newcastle) is a city and Metropolitan borough of Tyne and Wear, England The Newcastle Knights are an Australian professional Rugby league football team based in Newcastle New South Wales.
Hagan's craft and guile at five-eighth led to a rapid rise in the Knights' fortunes: they advanced from fourteenth to sixth (losing a play-off for fifth) in two seasons between 1988 and 1990. He took over Newcastle's captaincy in early 1990 and, despite fluctuating team fortunes and being moved to the less suitable centre position to accommodate the emerging Matthew Johns in his last season, finished his career with the amazing record of having not missed a match in five season with the Knights. Matthew Johns (born 27 July 1971 in Cessnock New South Wales) is an Australian former professional Rugby league player
Hagan also played 92 games for Halifax RLFC in 1984-1985 and 1993-1995.

Coaching career
Hagan was the media manager for the Hunter Mariners during the Super League war in Australia, and subsequently joined the coaching staff with Mal Meninga at the Canberra Raiders, coaching the President's Cup team in 1998 and First Division in 1999. The Hunter Mariners were an Australian Rugby league club based in the Hunter Valley region's largest city Newcastle.

For the drummer Phil Gould see Phil Gould (musician. Phillip Ronald Gould (born 1958 in Sydney, New South Wales) is However, many commentators believe it was solely the sheer brilliance of Andrew Johns along with other senior players such as Danny Buderus and Ben Kennedy that won the Knights the 2001 premiership. This is supported by statistics showing Hagans winning percentage without Johns was only 25% from 2001-2006.
Hagan coached the Queensland State of Origin team in 2004 and 2005. Although he was unable to win a series, in both seasons the series went to a deciding game, only for the Maroons to lose. Hagan's replacement, Mal Meninga, has gone on to win 2 series with QLD (2006 and 2007).
In 2005, after losing their first thirteen games of the season, the Knights finished with the wooden spoon.
