Mark Shipway (born 3 May 1976 in Australia) is a former professional rugby league footballer who played for the North Queensland Cowboys, the Northern Eagles and the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles in the National Rugby League (NRL).[2] He also played for the Salford City Reds in the Super League[3] and for the Redcliffe Dolphins in the Queensland Cup. He primarily played at centre or second-row.
Playing career
Shipway made his professional debut for the North Queensland Cowboys in the Australian Super League in round 2 of the 1997 season against the Western Reds.[4] Shipway played a further four more seasons for the Cowboys in the National Rugby League; the competition formed following the Super League War. Shipway then joined the Northern Eagles and played for the club in its last ever game, a 68–28 loss to Penrith in which Shipway scored a try.
The following year, the Northern Eagles reformed itself as the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles after which he played one further year for the club before leaving for a two-year stint in the Super League.[5]
Shipway had originally joined the Cowboys after several years of playing in the Queensland Cup (formerly known as the BRL Cup) for the Redcliffe Dolphins.[6] He made his debut for Redcliffe in 1996 but had joined them a season earlier as a colt.[7] He won a premiership in 1996 and also in 2006 with Redcliffe, after returning to the Queensland Cup outfit following his two-year stint at the Salford City Reds in the Super League.[8]
