After short stints at local amateur clubs Hoesen enrolled in the Fortuna Sittard youth academy. He was promoted to the first team in the summer of 2008[citation needed] and made his debut for Fortuna on 15 August 2008, appearing as a substitute in an away match against Go Ahead Eagles.

On 30 April 2011, after his first loan spell with HJK, towards the end of the 2010–11 Premier League season, Hoesen was named on the bench in the league game against Sunderland, but he didn't make an appearance.[2]

On 23 May 2011, Fulham confirmed that Hoesen had signed a contract extension and will remain at Fulham until June 2012. The club also had the option to extend terms until the summer of 2013.[3]

He scored his first goal for HJK on 29 May 2010 in a 1–2 away victory over IFK Mariehamn.
