Congrats to former Westport player Dan Hooper on his appointment!

We are pleased to announce the appointment of our new Assistant coach Dan Hooper. Dan has been the Head of Academy at the club since 2017 and has delivered excellent results, most recently with back-to-back titles with the U19 teams.

“It’s an exciting opportunity for me to join the coaching staff here at the Brumbies and make the next step in my career,” Hooper said.

Congratulations Dan 👏
