Tom Hoppe (New Signing)- We are really pleased to announce the signing of Welsh midfielder, Tom Hoppe.
He is a promising young centre who has developed in the Dragons Academy over the last few seasons. Hoppe was included in Wales U20 Six Nations squad in 2019 and represented Wales in the World Rugby Junior Championship. He has also played Welsh Premiership rugby for Newport, Bedwas and Cardiff.
DoR Richie Williams commented, “I am excited to watch Tom pull on the Cambridge shirt this season. He is an exciting young player who will add quality to our back line. He already has a wealth of experience and his physical attributes will complement both our defence and attack. I must say a huge thank you to Price Bailey, one of our key corporate partners; who Tom will begin working with in August. It once again demonstrates the strong relationships we place on supporting players on and off the field.”
Tom added “I am delighted to be joining Cambridge this season. I liked the vision of the club that Richie had and Cambridge is a fantastic city to live and work. With the players we have, I am hoping to be pushing for promotion into the Championship. They have a really exciting squad and a strong coaching team. It will be my first year playing in England and I can’t wait to begin.”
