Biography:

Dragon #63

Hopkins returns for her fourth campaign as a Dragon after making her NRLW debut for the club at five-eighth in Round 4, 2022 and playing a role in the side’s charge towards the postseason.

The 23-year-old is fresh off a career year in which she appeared in all nine of the club’s matches scoring a try and assisting on four others.

As a youngster, she impressed playing Oztag and Rugby Sevens before making the switch to rugby league six years ago where she has since excelled as a crafty playmaker.

A Sutherland Shire native, Hopkins is under contract with the club until at least the end of the 2027 NRLW season.
