Kyle Stanley (born 2 April 1991 in Sydney, Australia), is a Māori/Samoan Australian former professional rugby league footballer. He represented Samoa, and played for the St George Illawarra Dragons in the National Rugby League between 2010 and 2014.
His position of choice was at five-eighth, however due to his versatility could fill in anywhere in the back line. He is younger brother of fellow professional Chase Stanley.
In his juniors, Stanley played for Hurstville United JRLFC, the same junior rugby league club that former Dragons players Anthony Mundine, and Lance Thompson did.
Stanley was part of the Dragons Under 20's team in the Toyota Cup throughout 2009 and 2010.
Kyle made his debut in the NRL for the St. George Illawarra Dragons in round 11, 2010, at WIN Stadium Wollongong against the Canberra Raiders. He debuted at Fullback, and scored a try. He went on to play a total of 8 NRL games in 2010.
On 6 September 2010, Stanley was selected in the Samoan train on squad.
In January 2011, Stanley was named in the Daily Telegraphs '50 Rising Australian Sports Stars'.
In an interview with the Illawarra Mercury published on 1 February 2011, Stanley said the following things about his desires and ambitions for the Dragons: "This is my club," he said. "I've played my juniors here so I want to stay at the club. "This is my dream, playing for St George Illawarra, so hopefully I can keep it like that."
