ADAM ASHLEY-COOPER was a major find for the Wallabies in 2007, playing all seven winter Test matches and scoring a powerful individual try in the ground-breaking win over New Zealand at the MCG. After starting in four different positions for the Wallabies this year, his versatility is a major asset to the team’s backline armory.
2001 Graduated from Berkleyvale High School.
2002 Made his NSW Premier Rugby debut for Norths.
2004 Joined the Brumbies on a Development Contract, training throughout the Super 12 pre-season alongside Wallaby stars Stirling Mortlock and Matt Giteau before touring Scotland with the Australian Under 21s team. He also represented the Australian Sevens team.
2005 Signed a full-time contract with the Brumbies and made his Super 12 debut on the wing against the Crusaders at Canberra Stadium in the opening match of the season. He went on to earn three caps for the Brumbies despite suffering a lengthy layoff with an ankle injury.
He received a surprise call up to the Wallaby squad when injuries had taken apart the Wallaby backline, making his Test debut as a replacement against the Springboks at Subiaco Oval.
2006 Earned nine more caps for the Brumbies, establishing himself in the fullback role before being selected in the 33-man Wallaby squad for the domestic Tests and Tri Nations.
He played in both fixtures for Australia A against Fiji, forcing his way into the 37-man squad for the seven-match Spring Tour of the UK, Ireland and Italy.
2007 Played in all 13 matches for the Brumbies, splitting time between fullback and outside centre before being recalled to the Test arena to play all seven winter Tests for the Wallabies. He started Tests at wing, inside centre, outside centre and fullback and scored a memorable individual try against the All Blacks in Melbourne.
Off Field: Adam is currently studying towards a Bachelor of Human Movement, Central Queensland University (CQU)
