Morphology

slogger = slog (transparent) = slog + er

Agentive '-er' attached to 'slog' in its 'walk heavily' sense gives a clear meaning 'one who trudges or plods'.

Etymology

Slogger comes from the verb slog, which originally meant 'to plod' or 'to move slowly with effort'. So a slogger is someone who walks in a slow, heavy, and laborious way, as if each step is hard work.
