Harry James Hooman (born 27 April 1991) is an English footballer who plays as a defender.

Playing career

Hooman came through the youth ranks at Shrewsbury Town and signed his first professional contract with the club at the beginning of the 2009/10 season. He made his Shrewsbury Town debut at the age of only 18 against Northampton Town, playing in Shrewsbury Town's 3–0 win.

In November 2010, then 19-year-old Hooman was loaned to Conference North side Hinckley United to gain further first-team experience and became a regular at Hinckley United during his loan spell at the club.[2]

In July 2011 Hooman signed for Cheltenham Town.[3] Having played 7 times for Cheltenham Town in the 2011–12 season,[4] 21-year-old Hooman signed a new one-year deal with the club in June 2012.[5]

Hooman became a regular in the Cheltenham Town starting line-up towards the start of the 2012–13 season,[4] keeping club captain Steve Elliott out of the side. As a result, Hooman won the club's player of the month award for August 2012[6] and at the time, Cheltenham Town boss Mark Yates described Hooman as "outstanding" and said “he's been a big part of our good start to the season and the shirt is his”.[6] Unfortunately, Hooman suffered a foot injury playing for Cheltenham Town in October 2012 and having undergone surgery on it, remained side-lined for the remainder of the season.[7]

Hooman was released by Cheltenham Town in May 2013.[8]

It was announced that Harry would join Inverness Caledonian Thistle for the start of the 2013–2014 season. Unfortunately, a persistent foot injury flared-up in pre-season training resulting in Hooman being unable to take-up the offer of a place at the club. However, Inverness manager Terry Butcher stated that there may be an opportunity for the player to return in the future.[9]

Personal life

He graduated from Manchester Metropolitan University in July 2016 with a Bachelor degree in Sports Science.[10]
