Moses Mbye (born 13 August 1993) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer who currently plays for the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in the National Rugby League. He primarily plays at five-eighth and halfback, but can also fill in at centre.
Born in Brisbane, Queensland, Mbye is of Gambian descent through his father, making him one of the few players in the NRL to be of African descent, his mother is Australian.
Mbye played his junior rugby league for the Noosa Pirates. He played for the Pirates first grade side at age 17.
From 2011 to 2013, Mbye played for the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs' NYC team. On 21 April 2012, he played for the Queensland under-20s team against the New South Wales under-20s team. In 2013, he captained the Bulldogs' NYC team. On 20 April 2013, he again played for the Queensland under-20s team against the New South Wales under-20s team. On 13 October 2013, he played for the Junior Kangaroos against the Junior Kiwis.
In 2014, Mbye moved on to the Bulldogs' New South Wales Cup team. On 15 and 16 February, he played for the Bulldogs in the inaugural NRL Auckland Nines tournament. On 14 March, he re-signed with the Bulldogs on a 2-year contract. In Round 8 of the 2014 NRL season, he made his NRL debut for the Bulldogs against the Newcastle Knights, playing at centre replacing an injured Tim Lafai in the Bulldogs' 16-12 win at ANZ Stadium. During the week leading up to the Bulldogs' 2014 NRL Grand Final match against the South Sydney Rabbitohs, Mbye and Reni Maitua were both in contention to fill the vacant hooker role for the match after regular hooker and captain Michael Ennis was ruled out with a foot injury. Mbye was eventually given the nod to play at hooker over the more experienced Maitua in the Bulldogs' 30-6 loss. In that match, he made 44 tackles, the most tackles in the match.
