Hockey Wales is thrilled to announce the 36 athletes chosen to represent Wales at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games this summer.
The 18-player men’s and women’s squads include an exciting mix of experienced players and upcoming stars, including Olympic medallists, Gold-Coast and Glasgow Commonwealth athletes, 12 debutants, and three uncapped players.
Olympic bronze-medallist Leah Wilkinson will captain the women’s side alongside Beth Bingham and Sian French. Leading the men in Birmingham is the most capped Welsh male athlete, Lewis Prosser, with Luke Hawker and GB athlete Rupert Shipperley.
Tokyo 2020 and current GB squad members Jacob Draper and Sarah Jones will both compete at the Games, making this Jones’ third time representing Team Wales.
After impressing at the Women’s Junior World Cup in South Africa, Rebecca Daniel has been called up to the women’s team, while Gareth Griffiths and Holly Munro have also been selected in their respective senior squads for the first time.
