Former Eagle Mark Hutchings has honoured his late partner Hannah Camplin by naming their newborn daughter after her.

Ms Camplin died aged 36 in a Perth hospital on September 9, suffering a cardiac arrest just two days after giving birth to the couple’s first child, Sofia.

On Monday evening, Hutchings, 35, shared images of his daughter to Instagram, along with one featuring the mother smiling as she held her baby at the maternity ward.

The 2018 premiership player revealed Sofia’s full name as he introduced her to friends and the wider public.

“Introducing Sofia Hannah Rose Hutchings born 7 September 2026,” he wrote.

“Always carrying Mum’s spirit within you 🤍.

“Your family loves you very much ❤️.”

AFL players, fans and friends have continued to offer their messages of support to Hutchings and his family.

In response to his latest post, former teammate Tom Barrass wrote “❤️beautiful”.

“Proud of you. Hannah would be so bloody proud of the dad you are mate 🫶🏼”, another friend wrote.

“She is so special Mark... always with an angel on her shoulder. ❤️”, one more said.

Weeks after Ms Camplin’s death, a GoFundMe page was launched by a family friend as a means for the public to offer their support to Hutchings in a tangible way, along with thoughts and prayers, should they wish to do so.

“Hannah will always be deeply loved, forever missed, and never forgotten. We know she will be Sofia’s guardian angel, and is already looking down on them so proud of the Dad Mark has become,” the page read.

Ms Camplin was a dedicated ICU nurse at Royal Perth Hospital, and was also part of the RPH trauma research unit.

Shortly after announcing his partner had passed, Hutchings said Ms Camplin had always wished to become a mother.

“Her dream was to become a Mum, so it’s been incredibly difficult to take,” an Instagram post read.

“Sofia and I love you and will miss you very much Hannah ❤️💔.”

Hutchings played 120 games for West Coast before his retirement in 2021.

He has since forged a career in real estate in Perth.
