Career

Hornby started a two-year scholarship with Northampton Town in the summer of 2011. In December 2011, he was awarded his first squad number by manager Aidy Boothroyd.[3] In February 2012, he joined Football Conference side Kettering Town on loan. Hornby then put pen to paper on a new 2+1⁄2-year deal leading him through to 2015. He made his professional debut on 9 October 2012, in a 2–1 win over Colchester United in the Football League Trophy, coming on as a substitute for Kemar Roofe.[4] Hornby then went on to play in the play off final against Bradford City in which they lost 3–0.

After spending the whole of the 2013–14 season injured and returning from injury late in 2014–15 he was released at the end of the season when his contract expired.

During summer 2015, Hornby spent time on trial with Sheffield Wednesday.[5]

Ahead of the 2016–17 season, Hornby rejoined Kettering Town on a permanent deal.[6]
