Matt Seers (born 28 June 1974[2]) is an Australian former professional rugby league player for the North Sydney Bears, Wests Tigers and Wakefield Trinity. He played at fullback, centre and five-eighth during his career. [3]
[edit] Biography
In his first year in first-grade, Seers' talent kept experienced fullback Greg Barwick in reserve grade and, in 1994, forced the club’s star signing, Manly-Warringah fullback Ivan Cleary, into the centres.
Seers was selected for four New South Wales State of Origin games. He was on the bench for the first and third games in 1995 and the second round in 1997. Seers was given a start on the wing in the third 1997 Origin game.
After some success under coach Terry Lamb at Wests Tigers, Seers moved to the English Super League club Wakefield Trinity for the 2003 season. He was released by the club in August the same year after breaking his hand a few months earlier. [4]
