Sam Hoare, is the Australian for rugby league club Halifax. Sam paid his air fare over to the UK in hope that he would get a contract with a club. After being turned away by rivals Castleford Tigers, Halifax coach Martin Hall gave Hoare a trial originally till the end of March 2007. But after two impressive appearances including two tries in his début against Gateshead Thunder, Hall was quick to obtain Sam's signature, in which Sam signed a one-year deal. Sam was formerly with NSWRL club Western Suburbs Magpies.
