Kevin McGuinness (born 10 November 1976), an Indigenous Australian, is a professional rugby league player for Salford City Reds in the UK Super League. He formerly played for Western Suburbs Magpies, Wests Tigers and Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles in the Australian National Rugby League (NRL) competition. His position of choice is at centre.
McGuinness was graded to Western Suburbs in 1995 when he was 18 and played alongside his older brother, Ken, for two seasons.
In 2001, Kevin McGuinness, along with fellow Tiger, Craig Field, were banned by the NRL for six months after testing positive to illegal substances. [1] After undergoing counselling, McGuinness returned to premier league two months before the ban was lifted and was back with the first grade team for round 23 against the Newcastle Knights at Campbelltown Stadium, where he scored a try.[2]
In 2004, after a season at Manly, McGuinness moved to the Salford City Reds.
