Brendon “Bryn” Hargreaves (born November 14, 1985) is an English rugby league player with Super League team St Helens RFC.

Bryn Hargreaves has played prop forward in the Wigan Academy since 2002. He made his first team debut from the subs' bench against Salford City Reds in July 2004 and his full debut against London Broncos in August of that year. Hargreaves was given a 2-year full-time contract with the Wigan Warriors in August 2004. Hargreaves capped the 2004 season by being awarded the Under-21s Billie Joe Edwards and Craig Johnson Memorial Player of the Year trophy.

Hargreaves was selected to play for Lancashire in the 2004 Academy Origin Series.

Bryn was loaned out to Leigh Centurions July 2006 so that Wigan could complete the signing of Stuart Fielden. Bryn Hargreaves did not return to Wigan and instead was released from his contract with Wigan Warriors in 2006 as a part of Brian Noble's squad rebuilding for the 2007 season, Bryn signed a contract with National League 1 side Leigh Centurions.

In November 2006 St Helens RFC signed the ex-Wigan prop Bryn Hargreaves on a two-year deal.

On Hargreaves, coach Daniel Anderson stated: “Bryn will be out fifth specialist prop next year and we are confident that we can develop him physically and technically over the next couple of years.

“He was possibly thrown in at the deep end at too young an age as a starting prop at Wigan Warriors but we believe that he has genuine potential as a rotational squad member who can be patiently and methodically developed.”
