Brent Sherwin (born 20 March 1978 in Greenacre, New South Wales) is an Australian professional rugby league player. Sherwin currently plays in the Illawarra Carlton League which is an indirect feeder league to the St George Illawarra Dragons. His position of choice is at half-back. Sherwin previously played for Catalans Dragons, Castleford Tigers, the Bulldogs and has also been represented for City Origin.
Sherwin played for the Bulldogs from 1999 to 2007. He was almost successful in obtaining the Dally M Award in 2002 but was narrowly beaten by Andrew Johns, despite Johns gaining points for a game in which he was sent off.
While he has occasionally been dropped for poor form, Sherwin played a vital role in the Bulldogs' 2002 17-game winning streak and the 2004 premiership win. A handy goalkicker, Sherwin has been the top grade half since 2002 but has struggled to maintain his spot at the Bulldogs since.
He is the current coach of the unbeatable St. Christophers A grade team, who participates in the ICC A grade competition and team members include the likes of Liam Eisenhuth. It is the 50th year anniversary for the club deep in tradition and history. 2015 will be the clubs 3rd premiership in the past 10 years.
Brent Sherwin joined Canterbury as a five-eighth with pinpoint goal kicking. He was a regular member for the under 19's squad and played in the Preliminary Final against the Penrith Panthers which they lost.
In 1998, Sherwin was playing on the wing for the reserve side. He broke the club's record for most points scored in a reserve team for a season with 170 points. He played in the eventual Premiers over Parramatta.
In 1999, he started playing half-back for the reserve side. Due to the injury of Ricky Stuart, Sherwin got his first opportunity in first grade football.
