Tom Hooper

Born in Bathurst in New South Wales, Tom Hooper moved to Canberra following graduation from High School to play for Tuggeranong Vikings, after becoming an Australian Schoolboys representative in 2019. He joined the Brumbies in 2021 and made his debut against the Crusaders later that year. Hooper, who can play at lock or any position across the backrow, has 10 Wallabies caps to his name, including starting all four of their matches at the 2023 World Cup in France. He is known for his strong ball carrying and aerial ability. With his 20-year-old brother Lachlan promoted to the Brumbies first-team squad this season, Hooper may also have the opportunity to line up alongside his sibling for the first time in professional rugby in 2025.
