Sean O'Loughlin is an English professional rugby league footballer who captains Wigan Warriors of Super League. A Great Britain and England national representative forward, he has played his entire career to date with Wigan, whom he captained to 2010's Super League XV Championship and 2011 Challenge Cup titles. In an injury hit end to the 2013 season, O'Loughlin was passed fit for both the 16–0 Challenge Cup Final win over Hull FC and the 30–16 comeback victory over Warrington Wolves in the Super League Grand Final.

Sean O'Loughlin was born 24 November 1982 in Wigan, England. O'Loughlin's dad, Keiron, and uncle, Kevin, both played more than 250 games for Wigan in the 1970s. His father Keiron O'Loughlin also featured in the 1983–84 Challenge Cup Final for the Widnes side which achieved victory over Wigan. It was the Wigan-based amateur club Wigan St. Patrick's ARLFC which gave Sean his first experience of competitive rugby league. He had already gained international experience as part of the 2001 Great Britain Academy of Australia, a product of the Wigan academy, for whom he started playing in under-19s matches in 2001, and continued to do so in 2002. During his time at the academy, O'Loughlin played in a variety of positions, including a game against Wakefield Trinity in the senior academy championships where he played at Centre scoring two tries, and another against Hull Kingston Rovers where he scored a try playing at Second-row.
