Shane Perry (born 9 November 1977) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer for French club Catalans Dragons of Europe's Super League. His position of choice is in the halves. Usually playing at halfback, Perry previously played in the NRL for the Western Suburbs Magpies, the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs and the Brisbane Broncos, whom he won the 2006 premiership with.

[edit] Career

Shane Perry was part of the Queensland Cup playing for the Logan Scorpions in 1998, winning the Rothmans medal for best and fairest player that year. Shane Perry started out his first-grade rugby league career with Western Suburbs Magpies in 1999, before moving on to Bulldogs in 2000–2001. He has played for the Queensland Cup team Redcliffe Dolphins, winning their player of the year award in 2002 and also captaining the side in 2005.

Perry was then brought into the Brisbane Broncos camp/squad to provide cover during the State of Origin period where the Broncos are traditionally hit hardest with extra playing duties and/or injuries. But Perry became the number one halfback, when team-mate Brett Seymour had his contract with the club terminated for disciplinary reasons. Perry's ability to complement captain Darren Lockyer on-field relieved some pressure from the captain. Perry's form continued to improve and he was part of the 2006 grand final-winning Broncos team.

After mixed years in 2007 and 2008, he signed with French Super League team Catalans Dragons for the 2009 season.^[1][2]
