A senior Canada international, Hoilett began his career with Blackburn Rovers. After loan spells away from Ewood Park in Germany, the winger became a regular fixture in the Rovers side.

He left for Queens Park Rangers in 2012, spending four years as a first-team regular before enjoying a similarly prominent role across five years with Cardiff.

Reading recruited the winger in 2021 but he was unable to prevent the Royals sliding out of the second tier last season.
