Hobbs represented both New Zealand Schools and New Zealand Under 19s before moving to Brisbane, Australia to undertake study at the University of Queensland. He debuted for the Lions in the 2008 season after spending the two previous years contracted to the Queensland Reds Rugby Academy. He also had a stint with the Melbourne Rebels in the inaugural Australian Rugby Championship season. He went on to be drafted by the Blues for the 2009 Super 14 season. In 2011 Hobbs re-signed with the Blues and NZRU for the 2012 Super Rugby season. The 2012 ITM cup also saw Hobbs move north from Wellington to North Harbour. He played the first 3 matches before limping out of the Counties match early with ankle damage. Hobbs returned to the side for their final game against Tasman. At the end of the season he was granted an early release from his NZRU contract to take some time away from rugby. In March 2013, after a brief stint playing for the Santa Monica Rugby Club, Hobbs signed a 2 year deal with the Panasonic Wild Knights in the Japan Top League
