Peter Jorgensen (born 30 April 1973) is an Australian-born rugby union and rugby league footballer.
Jorgensen was educated at Newington College (1980–86) [1] and St. Joseph's College, Hunters Hill. A rugby union player with the Randwick club Jorgensen switched rugby codes to join the Sydney Roosters in 1995 where he played on the Wing position.
Making his debut in round 13 of the season, Jorgensen scored eight tries in the remaining ten games of the season.[2] He played with the Roosters for a further season, representing City Origin in 1996, before signing with the Penrith Panthers.
Jorgensen scored 32 tries playing for the Panthers. It was during this time that he attracted notice for doing the "aeroplane", a post-try celebration where he would pretend to be a plane, with his arms representing wings.[3]
In 2002 he returned to rugby union joining English club Northhampton. From Northampton he went on to play two seasons for Rotherham before signing for Edinburgh where he played two more seasons before finishing his career. In June 2007, Jorgensen returned to Australia with his wife and two young sons and resumed work as a stockbroker.
Frank Puletua is Jorgensen's brother-in-law.[3]
