Hoskins has scored 11 goals this season after signing a two year deal with the Pirates in the summer after leaving Watford.

Championship experience is in Hoskins locker with Watford and he has been loaned to Rotherham, Millwall and his home town club Nottingham Forest. His time at Forest coming to an end with a back injury.
