Fox played club hockey for Hampstead & Westminster in the Men's England Hockey League and made his international debut in 2009 and was part of the silver medal winning England team that competed at the 2010 Men's Hockey Champions Trophy in Mönchengladbach, Germany.[4]

He competed for Great Britain at the London 2012 Olympics.[5] [6][7]

He became his club captain[8] but the season after the Olympics in 2013, Fox left Hampstead to play for Holcombe[9] and became their vice-captain.[10]
