Michael Ennis (born 16 March, 1984 in Coffs Harbour, New South Wales, Australia) is an Australian rugby league player for the Brisbane Broncos club in the National Rugby League competition. He previously played for the St George Illawarra Dragons and the Newcastle Knights. His usual position of choice is at hooker.
His first season at the Broncos, in 2006, was tragically cut short by a knee injury suffered in round 5 against the South Sydney Rabbitohs at Suncorp Stadium. While changing direction, Ennis snapped his anterior cruciate ligament and required a full knee reconstruction. Ennis missed the rest of the season, and subsequently, the premiership win in October.
In 2007, Ennis made a return to first grade but was forced to work for his place in the side as a result of the good form of Shaun Berrigan at hooker. After some appearances from the interchange bench earlier in the season, Ennis was trialled at halfback during the final stages of Brisbane's round 10 loss to the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles. He was retained in this position in the ensuing games with some success.
2008 has seen Ennis reach the best form of his time at the Broncos. With stiff competition from high profile recruit PJ Marsh, Ennis has cemented a spot as the starting hooker and has guided the Broncos to some impressive early victories.
In June 2008, Ennis signed a three year deal to join the Bulldogs in 2009, joining a list of players to leave the Broncos.
