I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'angler' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'playing rugby?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hooker that I've seen before include "Front row rugby forward" , "John Lee --, blues singer" , "Rugby player; prostitute" , "Rugby player - traditional single-masted Irish working boat" , "Streetwalker" .)
