Paul Quinn (born 18 April 1972) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played for Parramatta, Penrith and South Sydney in the 1990s.
A St Gregory's College product, Quinn earned Australian schoolboys representative selection in 1990 and was signed by Parramatta in what was reported to be one of the most lucrative contracts ever offered to a schoolboy player.[2][3]
Quinn, a back rower, was unable to establish himself in Parramatta's first-grade team, with most of his appearances coming off the bench, and crossed to Penrith for the 1993 NSWRL season.[4]
In 1994 he joined South Sydney and was a member of the team which upset the Brisbane Broncos to win the Challenge Cup in the 1994 pre season.[5] His 1994 season was ultimately cruelled by a knee injury, but he made regular appearances in 1995 as a second rower and again in 1996, mostly at lock.[6]
