Dennis Moran, born 22nd January, 1977 is an Australian rugby league player.
Dennis Moran plays for the Leigh Centurions in National League One.
Moran's position of choice is as a scrum-half, however in 2007 he has moved into the stand-off position.
Moran signed for Wigan on a two year contract from London Broncos in November 2004. He replaced Wigan's Papua New Guinea star Adrian Lam, who had retired at the end of Super League IX.
Moran had spent four seasons at the Broncos, making 113 appearances and scoring 75 tries. Moran topped the Super League try scoring tables in 2002 and 2003 and was the Broncos top scorer in 2004 with 19.
He had made his first grade debut in Australia for Parramatta Eels in 1998, making 35 appearances for the club.
Moran was released by Wigan Rugby League Club on May 25, 2006 and was replaced by Michael Dobson. The following day he was signed by the Widnes Vikings in a bid to help them get their season back on track.
According to the Widnes World, Moran said "I've come here to try and help out as much as I can to get this club back into Super League."
He earned a place in the 2006 National League One Dream Team. [1]
Moran was a revelation with Widnes in 2007 winning the National League 1 player of the year award.
Moran joined Leigh Centurions on a one year deal in October 2007.
