Club career

Bristol Rovers

Hoole attended Ysgol Gyfun Gwynllyw, a Welsh language school in Pontypool.[3] In 2014, Hoole joined the Bristol Rovers academy.[4] In April 2018, Bristol Rovers confirmed Hoole had signed a scholarship with the club.[5] On 3 September 2019, Hoole made his debut for Bristol Rovers in a 1–1 EFL Trophy draw against Plymouth Argyle.[6]

After impressing for the club in pre-season, Hoole made his league debut on the opening day of the 2021–22 season, impressing in the right-back position during a 2–1 away defeat to Mansfield Town.[7] On 29 January 2022, Hoole received a first sending off of his career as he received two bookings in the space of five first-half minutes as ten-man Rovers scored a last-minute winner to defeat Walsall.[8] In February 2022, Hoole signed a new two-year extension to his contract.[9] Following a 4–0 thrashing of Stevenage, Rovers' manager Joey Barton said that Hoole had made the right-back position his own having dipped in and out of the team earlier in the season.[10] On 26 February 2022, Hoole scored a first senior goal with the opener in a 1–1 draw with Exeter City.[11]

Taunton Town (loan)

On 30 October 2020, Hoole joined Taunton Town on a one-month loan deal.[12] Taunton played one match, a match that Hoole was not registered in time to feature in, before football was suspended on account of the lockdown measures brought in for COVID-19.[13]

International career

On 13 November 2019, Hoole made his debut for Wales under-19's in a 3–0 win against Poland U19.[14]
