Tyson Frizell is an Australian rugby league player for the St. George Illawarra Dragons in the National Rugby League. He has Welsh and Tongan heritage, and was called up to the Wales team for the 2011 Four Nations. A back-rower, Frizell previously played for the Cronulla Sharks.

Playing career

A rugby league and rugby union player, Frizell played his junior rugby league with the Corrimal Cougars while also playing his junior rugby union with the Woonona Shamrocks club. Frizell attended the Illawarra Sports High School in Wollongong on the NSW South Coast. In 2009 he was selected as a centre for the Australian Rugby Union Schoolboys Tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland.^[2]

Shortly after returning from the tour, Frizell announced that he would be joining the Cronulla Sharks NYC squad for the 2010 season. Whilst in his second NYC year, Frizell made his NRL debut for the Sharks on 29 July 2011 against the Brisbane Broncos at Suncorp Stadium. After making another NRL appearance in 2011 against the Sydney Roosters, Frizell played another 10 NRL games for the Sharks in 2012. But despite some good performances, he failed to hold down a regular spot in the starting 17.

On 12 April 2012, Frizell announced he would join the St George Illawarra Dragons on a two-year deal beginning November 2012.^[3] His debut for the club occurred on 10 March 2013 against the Melbourne Storm at AAMI Park, Melbourne. In the 2013 season Frizell played 22 games for the Dragons and was credited as being one of the few shining lights in a Dragons side that endured a very poor season.

On 11 December 2013, the Dragons announced that they had re-signed Frizell at least until the end of the 2017 season.^[4]
