Luke Bailey (born 5 January 1980) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer of the 2000s and 2010s. An Australian national and New South Wales State of Origin representative front row forward, he played his club football in the National Rugby League for the St George Illawarra Dragons and Gold Coast Titans. Bailey was originally a junior of the Shellharbour Sharks club before signing for the Illawarra Steelers as a teenager prior to their merger with the St. George Dragons in 1999. After debuting in 2000 he went on to make a further one hundred and nineteen appearances for the Dragons before becoming newly formed National Rugby League franchise Gold Coast Titans' second signing for their inaugural 2007 season. Bailey and Scott Prince were named as co-captains. Bailey was the first person to score a try on Skilled Park at the Gold Coast once it was built for the home games of the Gold Coast Titans.
Bailey was born on 5 January 1980 in Port Kembla, New South Wales. Initially a junior soccer player, he started to play rugby league at a junior level for the Shellharbour Sharks at the age of twelve. His talent was quickly noticed and while still an adolescent was signed to a junior development deal with Australian Rugby League club the Illawarra Steelers. While attending Warilla High School, Bailey played for the Australian Schoolboys team in 1997. At the completion of the 1998 season the Illawarra club was forced to merge with the St. George Dragons and Bailey's contract was renewed with the newly merged entity, the St George Illawarra Dragons.
