Jordan Tansey is an English professional rugby league footballer for the Crusaders in the Super League . He was contracted to Hull FC in the Super League until February 2011. He previously played for Leeds Rhinos and Sydney Roosters in the NRL.

Sydney Roosters

On 1 October 2008, Tansey agreed to a deal with Australian NRL side Sydney Roosters for two years. He was meant to rejoin Leeds Rhinos in 2011. But, instead, on 4 June 2009 Tansey signed with Hull FC and will return to the European Super League with Hull for the 2010 season.[2][3]

Return to Super League

He returned to England with the Hull FC rugby league club after being granted an early release from the Sydney Roosters against their win over the Crusaders.[4] His contract was terminated, following a disciplinary hearing, in February 2011.[5]
