Career
Hourihane came through the youth team of Sunderland 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.[1] Conor failed to make an appearance for the Tractorboys in the 2010–11 season, this was partly due to the fact that Keane was sacked halfway through the season. 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.[2] He made his professional debut on 6 August 2011, in the opening day draw with Shrewsbury Town at the New Meadow.[3]
