Hone played as a defender notably in the Football League for Lincoln City. He also played for Darlington, Barrow, Gainsborough Trinity, North Ferriby United and FC Halifax Town.
==Career== Hone is a product of the Lincoln City centre of excellence and made his debut in the FA Cup first round match against Nottingham Forest which ended as a 1–1 draw filling in for the injured Lee Beevers and the ineligible Hamza Bencherif. He signed a {{frac|2|1|2}}-year professional contract for Lincoln in December 2007. He scored his first Lincoln City goal in a 2–1 home victory over Rochdale in February 2008.
In May 2011 he was one of just three squad players to be offered a new contract after a mass clear out of players following relegation from the Football League,<ref name="bbc9483263">{{cite news | title = Steve Tilson clears out Lincoln City squad | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/l/lincoln_city/9483263.stm | publisher = BBC Sport | date = 11 May 2011 | accessdate = 12 May 2011}}</ref> and he duly signed up for a further year on 30 June 2011.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.redimps.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10440~2384319,00.html |title=Hone pens new one-year deal |date=30 June 2011 |publisher=Lincoln City F.C |accessdate=30 June 2011 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110703155919/http://www.redimps.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0%2C%2C10440~2384319%2C00.html |archivedate=3 July 2011 |df=dmy }}</ref> Although he played ten games early in the season for Lincoln, he lost his place in the team and was loaned to Barrow in November 2011.
In May 2012, manager David Holdsworth confirmed that Hone would not be offered a new contract. In July 2012 he joined Gainsborough Trinity on trial, and a week later signed a one-year contract. In May 2013 he signed for North Ferriby United.
Hone then signed for FC Halifax Town in 2016, but departed after a season.<ref>[http://www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/sport/football/fc-halifax-town/shaymen-confirm-duo-are-to-leave-the-club-1-8559318 Shaymen confirm duo are to leave the club]‚ halifaxcourier.co.uk, 24 May 2017</ref>
