Hooper was promoted as a Football League referee the following season. At the start of the 2016/17 season he was promoted to the full time Referee group Select Group 2.
Mr Hooper last reffed a Fulham game at the beginning of the season in the 1-1 away draw at Reading when he yellow carded two Reading players, red carded Kalas in the first minute of the game for last-man foul and finished up yellow carding Kamara for a foul in the 94th minute.
