Bailey Lee Hobson (born 1 August 2002) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for National League club Harrogate Town.
Hobson played for Sheffield United as a youngster. He had spells with non-league sides High Noon, Handsworth and Maltby Main before joining Alfreton Town in 2021.
Despite being offered a new deal by Alfreton at the end of the 2022–23 season, Hobson joined National League club Chesterfield on a two-year deal.
On 22 September 2023, it was announced that Hobson had signed for fellow National League side Kidderminster Harriers on loan. He was recalled from his loan in January 2024, having scored twice in 17 appearances. He made a further 10 National League appearances, scoring once, for Chesterfield that season as they were promoted to EFL League Two as National League champions.
On 13 September 2024, Hobson joined Barnet on a one-month loan. The following month, his loan was extended until January 2025.
He departed Chesterfield upon the expiry of his contract at the end of the 2025–26 season.
On 22 May 2026, Hobson agreed to join National League side Harrogate Town following their relegation.
