Ben Harris (born 24 September 1983) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer currently signed to the North Queensland Cowboys of the National Rugby League. A Country Origin representative centre, he previously played for the Bulldogs RLFC, with whom he won the 2004 NRL premiership, and in England for the Bradford Bulls, with whom he won the 2005 Super League championship.

[edit] Bradford Bulls

Harris joined the Bulls in May 2005 from Canterbury Bulldogs where, despite his young age, he had forty first-grade appearances by the end of the 2004 season. He is a tough tackling centre. He was a member of the Bulldogs side that won the 2004 Grand Final and in 2005 completed the double by playing in the Bulls side which beat Leeds Rhinos at Old Trafford.

[edit] North Queensland Cowboys

Harris signed with NRL Club, the North Queensland Cowboys for the 2008 NRL Season on a one year deal, replacing retiring Cowboys veteran Paul Bowman in the centres. However he was moved to the backrow midway through the season, originally to allow Ben Farrar to the Cowboys NRL side. In 2009 it is expected he will remain in the backrow to allow star recruit Willie Tonga play in the centers alongside Ash Graham.

On May 29 2008, Harris re-signed with the club until the end of the 2011 season. 1

[edit] Representative career

In 2008 due to his good form with the Cowboys, Harris was selected to play for Country in City vs Country Origin - a match to help selectors decide on the team for New South Wales for the State of Origin competition against Queensland. He represented Portugal in rugby league^[1][2].
