 Hoare picked up an ankle injury on 6 June in a 3–0 win over St. Patrick's CY in the FAI Cup This injury would rule him out of the next six competitive games but Hoare made his comeback on 23 July when he came on from the bench to replace the injured Ger O'Brien at right back against Legia Warsaw in the Champions League, his debut in European competitions.Hoare returned to the starting eleven three days later for the trip to Athlone Town and helped his side to a clean sheet as well as scoring the second goal to secure a 2–0 win.On 5 October 2014, Hoare scored in the FAI Cup Semi-final at home to Finn Harps, when he headed home from a corner to restore Pats' lead in the 37th minute before they ran out 6–1 winners to book a place in the final at the Aviva Stadium.
