In 2017, Hola moved to Townsville, Queensland, where he joined the Cowboys NYC squad. He began the season playing for the Townsville Blackhawks Mal Meninga Cup side before moving up to the Cowboys NYC side and playing eight games.[3][4] In September 2017, he represented the New Zealand under-18 side in their loss to the Australian Schoolboys.[5]

In 2018, Hola played for the Northern Pride in the Hastings Deering Colts competition, winning their under-20 Best and Fairest award, and made his Queensland Cup debut for them later that season.[6][7][8] On 13 October, he played for the Junior Kiwis in their loss to the Junior Kangaroos at Mt Smart Stadium.[9]

On 19 February, Hola re-signed with the North Queensland club until the 2022 season and joined their NRL squad.[2] He began the season playing for the Northern Pride in the Queensland Cup.[10]

In Round 21 of the 2019 NRL season, Hola made his NRL debut in an 14–18 loss to the Brisbane Broncos.[11] He ended his rookie season with five appearances for the North Queensland side.

In February, Hola was a member of the North Queensland's 2020 NRL Nines winning squad.[12] Hola's playing time was limited in 2020 due to injuries.
