Conor Hourihane (born 2 February 1991) is an Irish professional footballer, who plays as a midfielder and captain for Championship club Barnsley. His previous clubs include Plymouth Argyle, Sunderland and Ipswich Town. He represented the Republic of Ireland at under-19 and under-21 level.

Career

Early 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. 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. He made his professional debut on 6 August 2011, in the opening day draw with Shrewsbury Town at the New Meadow. On 15 October, Hourihane scored his first goal for Plymouth in a 3–2 win over Dagenham & Redbridge. 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. He earned the League One Player of the Month award for August 2014, after making an impressive start to his Barnsley career. Hourihane became captain of the club in December 2015.

Hourihane and his teammates won two trophies at Wembley Stadium in London, during the 2015-2016 season: The first visit to Wembley was on the 3 April 2016 for the Football League Trophy, in which Barnsley won 3-2 in the League Trophy final, after beating Oxford United of League Two. The second visit to Wembley was on the 29 May 2016, for the Football League One play-offs final. Barnsley won promotion to the Championship, after beating Millwall 3-1 in the Play-Off final.

Hourihane and Barnsley had a highly successful start to life in the Championship, winning five out of their first seven games, including 4–0 wins against Rotherham and Wolves, and with Hourihane scoring three goals in these first seven games and assisting a further five. He went on to win the Championship Player of the Month for August 2016.
