Adrian Morley (born 10 May 1977) is an English retired professional rugby league footballer of the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s. A Great Britain and England international representative prop forward, he played for Leeds Rhinos (with whom he won the 1999 Challenge Cup), Sydney Roosters (with whom he won the 2002 NRL Premiership), Bradford Bulls (with whom he won 2005's Super League X), Warrington Wolves (with whom he won the 2009, 2010 and 2012 Challenge Cups) and Salford Red Devils. Morley was the first British player to win both a NRL and Super League championships.
Morley was born in Salford, but played for Leeds between 1995 and 2000. He made his England and Great Britain debuts in 1996. In the 1997 post season, Morley was selected to play for Great Britain in all three matches of the Super League Test series against Australia. Morley played for Leeds at second-row forward in their 1998 Super League Grand Final loss to Wigan. Morley won the Challenge Cup with Leeds in 1999 when they defeated London Broncos 52–16 at Wembley Stadium. He was offered a chance to play alongside his brother Chris Morley in the 2000 World Cup, who played for Wales but chose to commit to England. In July 2000, Morley agreed to join Australian side Sydney Roosters in the National Rugby League at the end of the season, who were being coached by former Leeds boss Graham Murray.
