Keith Senior (Born 24 April 1976 in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire) is a former English professional Rugby League player who played for Sheffield Eagles and Leeds Rhinos in the Super League. A Great Britain & England international representative centre, he is considered one of the greatest players of the Super League era. During his career he won every honour in the British domestic game and held the record for the most Super League appearances (413) & the record for the most Super League tries (199), until overtaken by Paul Wellens and his former Leeds Rhinos team mate Danny McGuire respectively in 2012. He represented both Great Britain & England at international level, and was named in the 'Rugby League World XIII' on three occasions.
Senior began his career at the Sheffield Eagles. He was signed from Huddersfield YMCA Rugby Union team by Gary Hetherington in 1994. Senior played in the very first Super League match in 1996, a 30-24 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. Senior played Centre, i.e. number 4, in Sheffield Eagles' 17-8 victory over Wigan in the 1998 Challenge Cup Final during Super League III at Wembley Stadium, London on Saturday 2 May 1998. Senior made his Great Britain debut in 1996, scoring a try after coming off the bench in the 72-4 win over Fiji. He was also his club's top try scorer with 17 tries that season. He bettered that tally in 1998, when he scored 19 tries as the Eagles shocked the Rugby League world, beating the Wigan Warriors 17-8 in the Challenge Cup Final at the old Wembley Stadium. He also made his first start for Great Britain in 1998, against New Zealand.
