Matt Seers (born 28 June 1974) is an Australian former professional rugby league player for the North Sydney Bears, Wests Tigers and Wakefield Trinity Wildcats. He played at fullback, centre and five-eighth during his career.
Matt Seers played his junior football with Cudgen Hornets before becoming a student of St Gregory's College, Campbelltown for his senior years of high school. He was an Australian Secondary Schoolboys Representative in 1992.
In his first year in first-grade, Seers' talent kept experienced fullback Greg Barwick in reserve grade and, in 1994, forced the club’s star signing, Manly-Warringah fullback Ivan Cleary, into the centres. He was named Norwich "Rising Star of the Year" that season.
In 1997, Seers played in 25 games as Norths made it to the preliminary final before losing to eventual premiers Newcastle. Norths made the semis again in 1998, with Seers making a mid-season change to centre and Ben Ikin playing at fullback. Seers played over a hundred games for the Bears, but after a period in rehab for a drug problem, signed with the Tigers for 2000.
After initially being left out of the first Wests Tigers' teams, Seers had some success under coach Terry Lamb. Seers moved to the European Super League club Wakefield Trinity Wildcats for the 2003 season. He was released by the club in August the same year after breaking his hand a few months earlier.
Seers signed a one-year contract with the Cronulla Sharks for the 2004 season, but failed to play any first grade. In 2010, Seers joined Craig Field to play for the Cudgen Hornets in the Northern Rivers Regional Rugby League.
