Born in Oradea in 1988, Hora started his career with youth club Oradea CSS.

His first goal for the club came in a 2–2 draw over Steaua București. In his second season with the club, he made 30 appearances, finding the net four times.[2]

In June 2010, Hora signed for defending Romanian Liga I champions CFR Cluj on a five-year contract. On joining the club, Hora said that he had spent "two beautiful years" at Gloria and also said that he wanted to make a mark in the UEFA Champions League.[4] He played his first Champions League match on 15 September in a 2–1 win over Swiss club FC Basel.[5] In 2014, he spent a loan spell at Liga II club Târgu Mureș with whom he won promotion to the first tier.[6] He signed permanently for the club at the beginning of the 2014–15 season; where he would play 30 matches and score nine goals.[7]

In July 2015, Hora signed a three-year contract with Pandurii Târgu Jiu.[8] He ended the season as the league's top scorer with 20 goals.

In August 2016, Hora signed a three-year contract with Turkish side Konyaspor for an undisclosed transfer fee.[9][10] He made 27 appearances in all competitions in the 2016–17 campaign, recording his sole goal in a 3–0 victory over Karabükspor on 25 May 2017.[citation needed]

Hora returned to Romania on 20 January 2019, penning a deal for an undisclosed period with FCSB.[11]

He earned his first official cap for the nation on 23 March 2016, replacing Bogdan Stancu in a 1–0 victory over Lithuania at the Stadionul Marin Anastasovici in Giurgiu.[14]
