Career

Born in Dumfries, Hooper began his career with local club Queen of the South and was included in the first team squad on 9 November 2013, as an unused substitute in a 1–0 home defeat against Hamilton Academical in the Scottish Championship.[1] Hooper played on 3 May 2014 in the final league match of the campaign in a 1–1 draw against Cowdenbeath, playing the full 90 minutes.[2]

In February 2016, Hooper signed on loan for Scottish League Two club Queen's Park who gained promotion that season on an emergency loan deal for a month.[3] Hooper's contract at Queens wasn't renewed, and he was subsequently released in May 2017 after four seasons at Palmerston.[4] Hooper remained in Dumfries and Galloway after signing for Scottish League Two club Annan Athletic on 14 June 2017.[5]

Hooper signed with Peterhead in 2019[6] before moving to Kelty Hearts on 31 July 2020.[7] On 1 March 2022, Hooper returned to former club Annan Athletic on loan for the remainder of the 2021–22 season.[8] He then returned to Annan permanently during the 2022 close season.
