Professional Rugby Player

Will Hopoate

Will Hopoate began playing for the Professional Rugby League when he was just eighteen years old, debuting with the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles. After a year, he decided to pause his rugby career in order to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Following his two years of service, Will returned to NRL as a member of the Parramatta Eels, and currently plays fullback for the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.

In total, his professional career has encompassed a length of about ten years. Most recently, he was named the Bulldogs Player of the Year for his current team in 2019.
