Player Profile
Sam Hooper made his full senior England debut on 10 December 2024 during the Argentina leg of the 2024/25 FIH Hockey Pro League, scoring twice in an 8-0 victory over Ireland on his way into the squad. Having progressed through the England and Great Britain U21 set-ups from 2017 to 2019, the Wimbledon defender combines his international commitments with a career in finance and insurance.
He was added to Great Britain's centralised programme in 2025 and continued to build his cap tally through the 2025/26 season — having made seven international appearances in total across the FIH Pro League squads in Argentina and India — as England prepared for the FIH World Cup.
One flag: the "seven appearances" figure from text 1 is a snapshot in time and will already be out of date given how actively he's adding caps (per the source note on this batch) — worth pulling a fresh number from tms.fih.ch before publishing rather than using this fixed figure.
