Hooper spent the second half of last season on a loan spell with the Dragons` league rivals Bromley, scoring 19 goals in 25 games, having switched to Hayes Lane in December 2018.

 

The 25-year-old caught the eye of Newcastle United while playing for Cray Wanderers, signing a two-year scholarship with the Magpies in August 2011 and, the following day he scored a hat-trick against Chelsea under-18’s.

 

After several loans away from St James’ Park he joined Northampton Town during the summer of 2013, but it was with Havant & Waterlooville in 2014 where he started to hit his true form.

 

He scored 13 goals in 37 appearances for the Hawks earning a move to League Two with Port Vale.

 

After a brief loan back to Northampton he joined his last club Grimsby in 2017.

 

Standing at 6`1”, the talented forward can also use his pace playing wide and has been described as having ‘excellent one-on-one technical finishing skills’.
