Cory Hill (born 10 February 1992) is a Wales international rugby union player. His usual playing positions are blindside flanker and lock forward.

A lock forward who can also play at blindside flanker, Hill began his career with Pontypridd RFC and the Cardiff Blues. In June 2013 he signed for Moseley and in November 2013 joined the Dragons.[1] Hill rejoined Cardiff Blues for the 2020–21 season.[2]

Hill became ineligible to play for Wales when he moved to Japan to join Yokohama Canon Eagles in 2021 as he was short of the 60-cap requirement for players based overseas.[3] In 2023 he then signed for fourth division Secom Rugguts. [4]

International[edit]

In April 2012 Hill was selected as captain of the Wales Under-20 squad for the Junior World Cup in South Africa.[5]

Hill made his senior debut for Wales on 5 November 2016 versus Australia as a second-half replacement. He played in four of Wales' five games in the 2018 Six Nations, and captained his country against Argentina on the summer tour later that year.

On 16 June 2017, Hill was a mid-tour call up for the British & Irish Lionsin2017, provoking some controversy among the rugby press.[6]

Controversy[edit]

In October 2021 it was revealed that Hill was one of three men who attacked a house in Rhondda Cynon Taf in May 2021. It was reported that Hill, under the influence of alcohol, believed that the house was one of the rental properties he owned and that the tenant owed rent. This was incorrect and Hill attacked the home of a woman and her small children.[7] Shortly after the incident, Hill left Cardiff Blues to play rugby for Yokohama Canon Eagles in Japan, bringing his Wales career to the end.[8]
