Michael "Mick" Moran (born 16 August 1983) is a former rugby league player. He played for the South Sydney Rabbitohs.[1]

NRL career[edit]

Moran debuted in the 2005 season, in South Sydney's round 9 match against the St. George Illawarra Dragons.[2] He showed promise in his first season, playing 11 games, and signed on to another contract until the end of 2007 midway through the year.[1][2] However, he failed to play a single game in the 2006 season.[1] His contract was terminated midway through the 2006 season more than a year before it was due to expire for unspecified disciplinary reasons.[3]

Newcastle Rugby League career[edit]

Moran later signed on with the Maitland Pickers in the Newcastle Rugby League, winning two Grand Finals with them, in 2010 and 2011.[4] Special attention was drawn to his performance in the 2011 Grand Final, where he kicked the winning field goal during Golden point.[5] He later moved to the Macquarie Scorpions.[5] Moran retired from rugby league prior to the 2016 season.[6]
