Stephen Hoiles (born 13 October 1981) is an Australian rugby union coach and former player. He played Super Rugby for the New South Wales Waratahs and previously for the Brumbies. He also represented the Australia national rugby union team. He is currently first grade head coach at Randwick[1] and was previously head coach of the LA Giltinis in Major League Rugby (MLR) where he won a championship in the team's inaugural season.
Career
Hoiles grew up in Sydney and is a member of the Randwick Rugby Club where he won the 2004 Sydney Club competition.
Hoiles represented the Wallabies for the first time in 2004 at the age of 22 in the Test match against Scotland. Prior to this he had represented Australia in 7's Rugby Union at the age of 20. His professional career spanned over 13 years with some significant setbacks along the way.
He played over 100 first grade games for his club side Randwick as well as over 100 Super Rugby games for the NSW Waratahs and the ACT Brumbies where he was captained for 3 seasons. His professional playing career was put on hold for three & a half seasons with a long term achilles injury. During this time Hoiles travelled to Sweden to have his foot operated on. This surgery allowed Hoiles to return to Professional Rugby where he joined the NSW Waratahs and was a starting member of the Super Rugby Championship winning team in 2014.
Post playing career
Having retired from playing in 2015, Hoiles began his role as a rugby commentator and TV presenter with Fox Sports.[citation needed] In 2018, Hoiles began coaching professionally where he was the assistant coach of the Australia national rugby sevens team.[2]
