Club career

Inglis started playing hockey when he was five and he joined his local hockey club the Southern Dogs.[4] In 2012 he signed a two-year contract at SCHC in the Netherlands.[5] Due to his commitments to the national team, he would miss the preparation for the second half of the season so in January 2013 his contract at SCHC was annulled and he returned to New Zealand.[6] In 2014 he joined Rotterdam where he played for one season.[7] He returned to Europe in 2016 to play for Braxgata in Belgium.[8] After three seasons with Braxgata, he returned to Rotterdam.[9]

International career

Inglis made his international team debut in 2009.[10] At the 2012 Summer Olympics, he competed for the national team in the men's tournament. At the 2014 Commonwealth Games, he was one of the New Zealand players who scored in the penalty shoot-out to decide the bronze medal, but New Zealand still lost the match to England.[11] He is one of three players from Dunedin to attend the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, where the men's team came seventh.[12][13][14] In 2018, Inglis was part of the New Zealand team who won silver at the Commonwealth Games.[10]
