Born in Barking, London, Hockton began his career with Millwall. He played for Millwall from 1996–97 to 1999–2000, scoring seven goals in 44 appearances, 31 of which were as a substitute. He joined Conference National side Stevenage Borough in January 2000, scoring six goals in 22 appearances, before transferring to fellow Conference club Dover Athletic in December 2000 for £7,500. He scored 10 goals in 17 appearances during the  remainder of the 2000–01 season. When Gary Bellamy took over as Dover manager in the summer of 2001, Hockton was one of the first players to be moved out of the club. Hockton moved down a level to then Southern League club Chelmsford City in August 2001. He had one season there and scored 16 goals, before signing for fellow Southern League side Crawley Town for the start of the 2002–03 season. Hockton scored 15 goals in 31 games, but was released at the end of the season. Hockton moved to Isthmian League club Billericay Town in the summer of  2003. He went on to score 52 goals in 75 appearances for the club, despite suffering a knee injury that sidelined him for a large part of the 2004–05 season. In January 2006, Hockton switched to fellow Isthmian League side Margate for an undisclosed fee. He won the club's Golden Boot award for the 2005–06 season, scoring 16 goals in 18 league appearances.

He won the Isthmian League Golden Boot award, the Margate Golden Boot award and the Margate Supporters' Player of the Year award, after scoring 36 league  goals in 40 appearances, but left to join Bromley for an undisclosed fee in June 2007. He then moved on to Braintree Town in September 2008 for an undisclosed fee, before leaving in April 2009 to join former club Chelmsford City. Hockton was released by Chelmsford City in November 2009 and subsequently signed for Isthmian Premier side Maidstone United on a one-and-a-half-year deal. Hockton started slowly, scoring only five goals in 27 matches and in the summer of 2010 he was transfer listed by Maidstone, with the club stating they could no longer afford him. No  move materialised however and Hockton started the 2010–11 season at Maidstone, starting regularly and averaging a goal every other game. Despite this Hockton joined Bromley on a one-month loan in December 2010, making two appearances in a month plagued with match postponements. Hockton returned to Maidstone but soon went out on loan again in March 2011 after losing his place in the Stones first team, this time joining Conference South club Thurrock until the end of the season. He played ten games for the Essex club, but disappointingly did not get on the score sheet. In the summer of  2011 Hockton's contract at parent club Maidstone expired, and he left the side for whom he scored 19 goals in sixty appearances. Hockton subsequently returned to former club Bromley, before moving on to Thurrock in September 2011. Hockton spent just over a month at Thurrock before dropping down a level to join neighbours Aveley, but lasted a little over two weeks at the club before signing for Isthmian League Division One South side Faversham Town.
