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 9 goals in the process.
Barnsley
Hourihane signed for Barnsley on 23 June 2014 for a fee of £250,000, signing a 3-year contract with the Tykes.[9] He earned the League 1 player of the month award for August 2014, after making an impressive start to his Barnsley career
