It was the only offer that really turned my head, because I was really happy at Forfar and enjoyed my time there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was working alongside Marc McCallum and the goalkeeping coach.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was going to take quite a lot to come away from that, but, when the opportunity came up, I thought it was probably the right time to go and really challenge to become number one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will always back myself. I have probably matured a little bit over the years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know it\u2019s going to be tough, and I know what stage I\u2019m at in my career. I\u2019m not going to walk in and be the number one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going to have to compete for that and it\u2019s a challenge I\u2019m really looking forward to.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sure we will push each other. The way I am myself, I\u2019m just going to be constantly putting pressure on him. Likewise, that\u2019s what I would expect if I was number one. I would want someone putting pressure on me.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Forfar spell was ‘really productive’ despite lack of game time<\/h2>\n<p>Despite being on the bench for the bulk of Forfar\u2019s league games last season, Hoban feels his spell at Station Park was a fruitful one.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cI think Forfar was really productive. I got games under my belt, albeit not as many as I would have wanted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had never played league football before, so there were questions marks from myself over whether I could do it. I felt acted on that and showed I can do it, so hopefully I can do it much more regularly now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was the biggest reason for leaving Forfar. Although I back myself, competing against Marc MacCallum, who is very experienced and an established number one, was difficult.<\/p>\n<p>“I felt like I needed to go and get that myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hoban hopes Elgin can build on the progress they made last season, after reaching the promotion play-offs before losing to Edinburgh City.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--image aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 620px;\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"embed--image__container\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3133954\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pressandjournal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/05\/20113233_38929862-1-e1623767709645-940x564.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pressandjournal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/05\/20113233_38929862-1-e1623767709645-940x564.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.pressandjournal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/05\/20113233_38929862-1-e1623767709645-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pressandjournal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/05\/20113233_38929862-1-e1623767709645-140x84.jpg 140w, https:\/\/www.pressandjournal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/05\/20113233_38929862-1-e1623767709645-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pressandjournal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/05\/20113233_38929862-1-e1623767709645-620x372.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.pressandjournal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/05\/20113233_38929862-1-e1623767709645-80x48.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.pressandjournal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/05\/20113233_38929862-1-e1623767709645.jpg 1421w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/> <\/div>\n\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text caption\">Elgin’s Darryl McHardy (R) celebrates scoring against Edinburgh City in the play-offs last season.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n<p>He added: \u201cI really enjoyed my time at Elgin.
