Hoban played for Irish non-league sides Lakeside Celtic, Ballinakill United, and Ballinasloe Town, before he joined Mervue United, who he helped to win promotion from the A Championship to the League of Ireland with a 5–2 aggregate victory over Kildare County in the 2008 play-off final. In November 2010 Hoban signed with Bristol City. However his time in Bristol was unsuccessful and he returned to Mervue United and then moved to League of Ireland Premier Division side Dundalk.

He signed with English League Two side Oxford United in November 2014, having turned down the chance to play on trial at Scottish Premier League club Kilmarnock. Having scored three times in 43 League appearances (26 of them as a substitute) he joined Stevenage on a month's loan on 1 February 2016.

On 1 March 2016, Hoban joined National League side Grimsby Town on loan until the end of the season.

Hoban played in Grimsby's 3–1 victory over Forest Green Rovers in the 2016 National League play-off Final at Wembley, seeing Grimsby promoted to League Two after a six-year absence from the Football League. Hoban was not retained when his loan expired. He was released by Oxford at the end of the season.

Following his release from Oxford, Hoban joined Nottinghamshire club Mansfield Town in June 2016. He was released by Mansfield at the end of the 2016–17 season.
