Further Information
Anderson joined the National Senior Men’s Squad for 2019, having made his international debut against Argentina in Darwin in September 2018. The Queensland forward scored in his second game, a 5-2 win over Malaysia.

‘Boccy’ was first selected in the National Junior Squad in 2016. He was part of the 2018 National Development Squad and following good form at the 2018 Under-21 National Championships, earned his maiden national call-up for the Darwin International Hockey Open.

What his teammates say…
“He’s one of the fastest international hockey players on the scene at the moment. He’s a lightning quick forward who pops up and scores goals. He has a huge desire to be better, he constantly wants to win and always be at his best…you can see that in his training and whenever he takes the pitch.” Tim Howard
