Football career
Hove's footballing career is said to have started when he was just a form one student in 2004. Although the player had tried his luck at Chrome, he failed to make the cut as the club had brilliant goalkeepers at the time, he eventually got into the limelight when he was offered a contract by the club which kept him at the club until 2006 before he made a move to ZiscoSteel.[2] At ZiscoSteel Hove was offered a four year apprenticeship in electrical engineering which he completed in 2008, at that time he was playing alongside Dembare striker Masimba Mambare. In 2008 he was loaned to Lancashire Steel which is a subsidiary of ZiscoSteel but needed another goalkeeper. When Lancashire got relegated from the premier league, Hove was forced to join Chrome Stars again because it was closer to school(Kwekwe Polytechnic). It was in 2012 that he made a move to ZPC Kariba[2]
