Cowboy #250
Originally a junior with Brothers in Townsville, Justin O’Neill made his debut for the Storm midway through the 2010 season and played 67 NRL matches for the club, scoring 34 tries.
He played in five finals games with Melbourne, including the 2012 grand final which saw the Storm beat Canterbury 14-4 with O’Neill scoring one of his team’s three tries.
O'Neill signed with the Cowboys on a two-year deal in late 2014, becoming a regular in the team in his first season at the club.
Starting the season on the wing, O'Neill shifted to centre in round 9 and remained in that position for the remainder of the season, including the historic grand final victory over the Broncos.
He made his third grand final appearance in six seasons in 2017, starting at centre in North Queensland’s defeat to Melbourne.
O’Neill has appeared in four State of Origins for Queensland, two Tests for the Kangaroos and one Test for Vanuatu. He was also a member of the 2013 NRL All Stars side.
He is contracted through the end of the 2021 season.
