Ben Hannant (born 31 December 1984 in Gold Coast, Queensland) is an Australian professional rugby league player for the Brisbane Broncos club in the National Rugby League (NRL) competition, he also previously played for the Sydney Roosters. His usual position of choice is at prop-forward.
After debuting with the Roosters in 2005 and playing a handful of games for the club, Hannant moved to the Broncos for the 2006 season and enjoyed premiership success with them. The retirement of Shane Webcke following the Grand Final left some large shoes to be filled in the Broncos' front row and Hannant has contributed respectably to doing just that.
Hannant has impressed Queensland Origin selectors as a result of his good 2008 performance and has been selected on the bench for game one.
On 27 May 2008, it was revealed that Hannant had signed a three-year with Sydney based club Bulldogs, commencing in 2009.[1][2]
