Tom’s passion for hockey blossomed after travelling the globe with his family, experiencing ice hockey in Canada. Upon returning home, Tom decided field hockey was the next best thing. His international career endured a stuttering start after his debut was postponed by 24 hours when officials discovered he only had a New Zealand passport. But he was blessed with blistering pace, and only missed three games in 2018, playing a key part in Australia’s Commonwealth Games and Champions Trophy successes, along with the side’s World Cup bronze medal where he scored a hat-trick against England in the third-place match.

WHAT HIS TEAMMATES SAY… “Tom is a very exciting player to watch. He’s fast, agile and creates a lot of chances for us. He would be one of the quickest players in world hockey. Off the pitch, Tom is really intelligent…he loves reading and telling people interesting facts.” Dylan Martin
