About Konrad Hurrell
Konileti "Konrad" Hurrell, born on August 5 1991, in Tongatapu (Tonga), is a former Tongan international rugby league footballer. A powerful centre renowned for his destructive runs and ability to break the defensive line, he began his professional career in the National Rugby League with the New Zealand Warriors in 2012, where he quickly established himself as one of the most impactful three-quarters in the Australian competition. After a notable spell with the Gold Coast Titans, he moved to Super League in 2019 with the Leeds Rhinos, and later St Helens, with whom he won several major titles, including the Challenge Cup (2020), the Super League (2022) and the World Club Challenge (2023). His performances earned him two selections in the Super League Dream Team, in 2019 and 2020. A regular feature of the Tongan national side, he played in three editions of the Rugby League World Cup (2013, 2017 and 2022). As a starting centre during the 2017 campaign, he was part of his country’s historic run to the semi-finals, narrowly lost against England. Two years later, he was also in the squad that achieved a landmark victory by defeating Australia (16–12) in the 2019 Oceania Cup, a result regarded as a milestone in international rugby league. In 2025, he featured in only one Challenge Cup match for St Helens without making an appearance in Super League, before going on to play for Halifax Panthers, Swinton Lions and Bradford Bulls. In September of the same year, he announced his move to the French Championship with F.C. Lézignan. == Early life == Hurrell was born in Tofoa, Tonga, and moved to New Zealand in late 2009 on a rugby union scholarship with Auckland Grammar School.
