Shannon Hegarty (born 14 June 1979 in Brisbane, Queensland) is an Australian rugby league footballer for the Jacksonville Axemen of the USA Rugby League.[1] An Australian international and Queensland state of Origin representative three-quarter back, he played club football in the National Rugby League for the Sydney Roosters (with whom he won the 2002 NRL Premiership), South Sydney Rabbitohs and North Queensland Cowboys.

Hegarty scored the Roosters' first try in their win over the Warriors in the 2002 NRL grand final and went on to victory in England for the resulting 2003 World Club Challenge. He was then selected to play on the wing for Queensland in every match of the 2003 State of Origin series. Hegarty scored a try whilst playing in the centres for the Roosters in their loss to Penrith in the 2003 NRL grand final. After that he was selected to go on the 2003 Kangaroo tour.

He was released from the final year of his playing contract with the Rabbitohs on a mutual agreement. He signed with North Queensland two days later.[2]
