Gareth Raynor (born 24 February 1978) is a rugby league player for London Skolars of the Kingstone Press Championship 1. He is a former Great Britain international who previously played for Hull, Crusaders, Leeds Rhinos and Bradford Bulls in the Super League. Plus a spell with Aviva Premiership side, Leicester Tigers.
Raynor started his career in rugby union as a centre. He started out at Pontefract RU and later moved onto Castleford Panthers before Leeds Tykes stumbled upon his performances and took a keen interest. It was not long after that he moved to the Tykes in 2000. He made 8 appearances (4 as substitute) for the Tykes in their Division One season.
Raynor left the Tykes in the summer and switched codes to play Rugby League for sister club, Leeds Rhinos.
Gareth transferred to Leeds in the summer of 2000 and made three off the bench performances for the Rhinos. With little game time Gareth moved to Hull F.C. on a two-year contract. Injury to established winger Chris Smith led to more starts that expected for Raynor and he soon became a fans' favourite. After the 2002 Super League season, he returned to rugby union and played for Leicester Tigers. He made four appearances in the 2002–03 season for Leicester with two from the substitute bench before leaving to return to league and Hull F.C. midway through the 2003 season.
Raynor was a regular at Hull F.C. after a successful season on the wing with 18 tries in all competitions at the end of 2005. Raynor played for Hull at centre in the 2005 Challenge Cup final, scoring a try in their victory against the Leeds Rhinos. Hull reached the 2006 Super League Grand final to be contested against St. Helens and Raynor played on the wing in his side's 4-26 loss. He became a Great Britain international, starring in the Tri Nations last season.
