Matthew Charles Sing (born on 13 March 1975 in Winton, Queensland)
is an Australian professional rugby league player for Hull FC in the Super
League competition.
He played for Penrith Panthers between 1993 and 1995, and for Sydney
Roosters from 1996 to 2001.
Sing is one of the most prolific try scorers in recent years of the National
Rugby League, and has represented Queensland
and Australia
regularly since 1995.
In 2000, Matt Sing was awarded the Australian Sports Medal for his
contribution to Australia's
international standing in the sport of rugby league.
He was the leading try-scorer in the history of the North Queensland Cowboys,
having scored 60 tries since joining the club until being overtaken by Matt
Bowen. He is also one of only a handful of players to have scored 3 tries in a state
of origin match.
As of February 17, 2002 Sing was the third most experienced player in the National
Rugby League, having played more games than any other player at the time except
for Jason Croker and Steve Menzies. Additionally, no other player besides
Menzies had scored more tries than Sing.
2006 was Sing's last season in the NRL; he moved to Hull FC in 2007 to
replace the outgoing Nathan Blacklock.
A terrific finisher, Sing is one of the NRL’s all-time leading try
scorers and arrives at the KC Stadium as a direct replacement for the
retired Nathan Blacklock. Sing’s experience should prove vital.
