Wallabies star Michael Hooper has bought his first home with wife Kate Howard.

The move comes after Hooper, the Wallabies Bledisloe Cup captain, sold his Fairlight cottage for $2.51m this month.

The couple have now bought a designer four-bedroom home in Manly, having paid $2,655,000.

The quaint home had an extensive renovation in 2016.
