Dylan Phythian (born 19 August 1995) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer who plays for the Burleigh Bears in the Queensland Cup. His positions are fullback, five-eighth and halfback. He previously played for the Newcastle Knights in the NRL.

Background[]

Phythian was born in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia.

He played his junior rugby league for the Western Suburbs Rosellas,[2] Lakes United[3][4] and Belmont South Rabbitohs,[5] before being signed by the Newcastle Knights.

Playing career[]

2015[]

In 2015, Phythian played for the Newcastle Knights' NYC team,[6] before being promoted to their New South Wales Cup team during the year.[7]

2016[]

In round 25 of the 2016 NRL season, Phythian made his NRL debut for the Knights against the South Sydney Rabbitohs,[8][9] scoring a try.[10] In November, he re-signed with the Knights on a 1-year contract until the end of 2017.[11]

2017[]

While playing fullback in round 1 of the 2017 season against the New Zealand Warriors, Phythian suffered a season-ending injury, tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.[12] In September, he had his Knights contract extended until the end of 2018.[13]

2018[]

On 27 March, Phythian had his contract terminated by the Knights after he returned a second positive test for social drugs, the first test remaining anonymous under the NRL's rules, with the second positive test automatically incurring a 12-match suspension.[14][15]

Phythian made his return to the field in June for Lakes United in the Newcastle Rugby League. Less than a week later, he made a mid-season move to the Burleigh Bears in the Queensland Cup.[16]

2019[]

In 2019, Phythian played five-eighth in the 2019 Intrust Super Cup Grand Final defeating Wynnum Manly. He also played in the State Championship Grand Final against the NSW Instrust Super Cup winners Newtown Jets.[17]
