Club career

Perth Glory Hoarau signed for A-League Women club Perth Glory ahead of the 2023–24 season. She made her début on 24 September 2023, coming on as a 54th-minute substitute for Claudia Mihočić in a 4–0 friendly win over the Western Australia state team at the State Football Centre in Queens Park, held as part of the annual preseason Gold Fields Challenge Cup. She made her competitive début on 10 February 2024, coming on as a 90th-minute substitute for Susan Phonsongkham in a 2–2 draw at home to Canberra United at Macedonia Park in Balcatta. She departed at the end of the season, having made just four league appearances for the club.

Fleury 91 Hoarau joined Première Ligue side Fleury 91 ahead of the 2024–25 season, and stayed at the club for the 2025–26 season.

International career Hoarau was born in Réunion, an overseas department and region (DROM) of France, making her technically eligible for the Réunion national team. However, Réunion is not a FIFA member and is only an associate member of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), making Réunion ineligible to compete in the FIFA Women's World Cup or the Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON). Instead, she would be eligible to play for either Australia (where she was raised and began her career) or France (as Réunion is part of Overseas France).

Hoarau was called up for the Australia under-20 national team by head coach Alex Epakis, who previously coached her at Perth Glory, as part of his 23-player squad for the 2026 AFC U-20 Women's Asian Cup in Thailand.
