David Mead (born David Moore on 4 November 1988) is a Papua New Guinean professional rugby league footballer who currently plays for the Brisbane Broncos of the National Rugby League (NRL). A Papua New Guinea international and New South Wales Country Origin representative wing or fullback, he represented Papua New Guinea at the 2008 and 2013 World Cups. He previously played for the Gold Coast Titans where he played 147 games.
Born in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea as David Moore, Mead moved to Australia as a 12-year old and attended Kadina High School and Trinity Catholic College in Lismore, New South Wales. Mead played junior football with Lismore Marist Brothers before being signed by the Gold Coast Titans. Mead played for the Titans NYC team in 2008. Mead was named in the Papua New Guinea squad for the 2008 Rugby League World Cup. Between the 2008 World Cup and the 2009 NRL season, Mead changed his surname to honour his aunt's family who raised him after moving to Australia.
On 30 January 2009, Mead signed a contract extension with the Gold Coast Titans after turning down an offer from the Sydney Roosters. In Round 13 of the 2009 NRL season, Mead made his NRL debut for the Titans against the St. George Illawarra Dragons off the interchange bench in the Titans 28-24 win at Skilled Park. In his next appearance in Round 16 against the New Zealand Warriors, Mead made his first appearance in the starting line-up, scoring his first and second NRL career tries in the Titans 28-12 win at Skilled Park. Mead finished his debut year in the NRL with 14 matches and 8 tries. He was part of the Papua New Guinea squad for the 2009 Pacific Cup, and was named their player of the year by the Rugby League International Federation.
