Bill Cooper (born 16 December 1987) is an Irish hurler who currently plays as a centre-forward for the Cork senior team.[1]

At club level Cooper plays with Youghal and divisional side Imokilly.
Playing career
Club
Cooper plays his club hurling with Youghal in the intermediate club championship.
Inter-county
Cooper first played for Cork in the intermediate grade in 2010. He won a Munster medal in that grade that year following a 0-15 to 0-13 victory over Waterford.[2] Cooper later lined out in the All-Ireland decider, however, Kilkenny were the winners on that occasion by 2-17 to 1-13.[3]
His performances for the intermediate team brought Cooper to the attentions of the senior selectors. He made his senior debut in a National Hurling League game against Tipperary in 2011 and made his championship debut later that same year when he was named at midfield in an All-Ireland qualifiers game against Laois. Cooper scored 1-3 in that game in a 10-20 to 1-13 rout[4]
