Hovey, who came from Modewarre, was runner-up in the Geelong seconds best and fairest award for the 1944 season.[1][2] Mostly as a centreman, Hovey made 10 appearances with the senior side in the 1945 VFL season, debuting at the age of 26.[3][4] He didn't play VFL football in 1946 and instead captained the Geelong seconds.[5]
In 1947 he was cleared to Geelong West, in the Ballarat Football League.[6] At Geelong West, Hovey was a best and fairest winner and captain-coached the club in 1948.[7]
Personal life
Hovey was one of four brothers to play football for Geelong.[8] Most successful of the four was Ron Hovey, who was a member of Geelong's 1951 and 1952 premiership teams.[9] Another, Jim, played 41 league games in the late 1940s.[9] The eldest of the four, Bernard "Bern" Hovey, played for the Geelong seconds, before his death in an RAAF air crash in 1943.[5][10]
On 19 February 2014, Hovey died at his home in Geelong, aged 95.[11] He was the oldest surviving Geelong player at the time of his death.[11]
