Adam Ashley-Cooper (born 27 March 1984 in Sydney) is an Australian rugby union player. He plays for Australia, and for the Bordeaux in the Top 14 competition. He is known as Mr Versatile.
Ashley-Cooper took up rugby as a 15-year-old while living on the Central Coast in NSW. He was educated at the Berkeley Vale Community High School, the same school that produced Scottish and British Rugby Union star Nathan Hines, NRL Prop and Wests Tigers Assistant Coach Paul Stringer and Olympic Marathon runner and City to Surf winner Martin Dent. He played junior rugby for the Ourimbah Razorbacks on the NSW Central Coast, the same club as Hines. In his teenage years he played both 10 and 12 (fly-half and inside-centre) and says: "I was pretty much all over the shop [even] in those days."
Ashley-Cooper joined the Brumbies in 2004 on an ARU development contract. He played all of the Brumbies pre-season trials, and accompanied the team to South Africa. As a 20-year-old Ashley-Cooper spent most of his first year at the Brumbies flying around the globe playing for the Australian sevens. For the 2004 Super Rugby final between the Brumbies and Crusaders, Ashley-Cooper sat on the bench at Canberra Stadium as the Brumbies 23rd man, his boots at hand but never unpacked.
In 2005, he made his Super Rugby debut on the wing for the Brumbies at home against the Crusaders. He subsequently played two more games that season, against the Chiefs and the Queensland Reds. He was selected for the Wallabies in their second Tri Nations match against the Springboks and made his debut in Perth.
In the 2006 Super Rugby season, Ashley-Cooper played 12 matches for the Brumbies, and scored two tries.
