Rhys Hanbury (born 27 August 1985) is an Australian professional rugby league player for Widnes Vikings in the European Super League.
He previously played for the Wests Tigers in the National Rugby League (NRL).
Hanbury primarily plays at full-back and can also operate as a half-back. He played junior football with Illawarra Wests.
Although he was expected to make his debut for Crusaders against Wigan on 5 February at the DW Stadium, visa issues made him unavailable until the 11 April match versus Wakefield Trinity.
Rhys made his first grade debut for the South Sydney Rabbitohs against Penrith Panthers. He made just two appearances for the club, partaking in a loss and a draw. He was released and transferred to Wests Tigers in NRL 2008.
Rhys made his Wests Tigers debut in a Round 2 fixture against North Queensland Cowboys. Star Benji Marshall was injured the round before but Hanbury nevertheless helped the Tigers to an emphatic 30-10 win. Hanbury made nineteen further appearances over the 2008 & 2009 seasons and in these appearances went over the try line four times. However the Tigers failed to make the NRL Finals both times and Hanbury signed for Crusaders for the 2010 season.
Hanbury enjoyed a successful Crusaders season in 2010. First picked on the bench against Wakefield Trinity, he scored his first two tries against York City Knights in the Carnegie Challenge Cup. Hanbury would finish the 2010 season joint top scorer with 12 tries; yet he had only twenty appearances, four less than joint top scorer Vince Mellars.
