Playing career
Born in Mullinavat, County Kilkenny, Hoban first came to prominence at juvenile and underage levels with the local club.[1] He eventually joined the club's top adult team and was a member of their County Intermediate Championship-winning teams in 1989 and 2001. Hoban first appeared on the inter-county scene as a member of the Kilkenny minor team in 1986 before later winning a Leinster Championship medal with the under-21 team in 1988. He made a number of National League appearances with the Kilkenny senior hurling team and was an unused substitute on the 1992 All-Ireland Championship-winning team.[2] Hoban was also a two-time All-Ireland-winner with the Kilkenny junior team.[3]
Managerial career
After his retirement from playing, Hoban first became involved in club management before a four-year stint as manager of the Kilkenny intermediate team.[4] During this period he guided the team to four successive All-Ireland final appearances, with Kilkenny claiming the titles in 2008 and 2010. During a subsequent four-year period as Kilkenny minor manager, Hoban won the All-Ireland Championship title in 2014.[5][6]
