Club career
Having begun playing youth football at the age of ten, Draper joined Canterbury United shortly after moving to New Zealand.[1] Having played for a number of clubs in Australia and New Zealand, Draper joined English non-league club Basingstoke Town in August 2010[2] and made his competitive debut for the club on 17 August against St. Albans.[3]
In June 2011 he joined The New Saints[4] making his debut for the club on 18 June in a pre-season friendly against Cliftonville.[5] His competitive debut came on 30 June against the same team in a Europa League first qualifying round match, where he was a 74th-minute substitute.[6] He scored his first competitive goal for his new club on 3 September in a Welsh Premier League game against Llanelli where he scored the only goal of the game.[7]
His rich vein of form led to him being awarded the Welsh Premier League player of the month for February 2012.[8] He finished the season as the club's top scorer and was awarded the club's player of the season award.[9]
In the 2017–18 season, Draper won the Welsh Premier League golden boot for finishing as the league's top goalscorer with 22 goals.[10] He repeated the feat the following year, scoring a career high 27 goals.[11][12]
In May 2019 he signed a two-year contract extension with the club.[13] Draper was released by the club at the end of the 2020–21 season.[14]
In June 2021, Draper dropped down a division to join Cymru North side Guilsfield.[15]

Draper was included in the New Zealand squad for the football tournament at the Summer Olympics in Beijing.[17] He played in New Zealand's group matches against Brazil (0–5) and Belgium (0–1).[18]
His senior international debut for the All Whites came in 2008 in a 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Fiji.[19]
He was called up March 2012 for the 2012 Olympic qualifiers[20] and scored his first international goal in New Zealand's second group match against Tonga.
