Career

Early career

Hourihane came through the youth team of Sunderland[3] and stayed with the Black Cats until 2010 when his contract expired. He was offered a new deal by Sunderland but chose to sign for his idol Roy Keane's Football League Championship side Ipswich Town, who had to offer compensation for the deal.[4][5] Hourihane failed to make an appearance for Ipswich in the 2010–11 season.

Plymouth Argyle

He signed for Football League Two side Plymouth Argyle on 30 July 2011 on a free transfer after being released by Ipswich and impressing on trial.[6] He made his professional debut on 6 August 2011, in the opening day draw with Shrewsbury Town at the New Meadow.[7] On 15 October, Hourihane scored his first goal for Plymouth in a 3–2 win over Dagenham & Redbridge.[8] He became the club's captain during the 2012–13 season following the departure of Darren Purse to Port Vale and signed a new two-year contract in May 2013. Hourihane impressed for Plymouth in the 2013–14 season, starting 53 games and missing only one match all season because of suspension, scoring nine goals in the process.

Barnsley

Hourihane joined Barnsley on 23 June 2014 for a fee of £250,000, signing a three-year contract with the Tykes.[9] He earned the League One Player of the Month award for August 2014, after making an impressive start to his Barnsley career.
