From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aaron Gorrell (born March 31, 1981 in Wollongong, New South Wales) is an Australian rugby league player for Catalans Dragons in Super League (Europe), having previously played for St George Illawarra Dragons in the National Rugby League competition. His usual position is at hooker.

Gorrell was made famous by slotting in the last-minute conversion in a round 15, 2006 game against the Brisbane Broncos at Suncorp Stadium. The Dragons won the match 18-16. Gorrell had converted rookie Brett Morris's try in the 78th minute after coach Nathan Brown gave him the goalkicking duties after Mathew Head had kicked the last two conversions.

In 2007 he joined Catalan Dragons for their second season in Super League. With his NRL experience he proved a key influence in the opening rounds of the season, before suffering a season-ending knee injury in round four which required a knee reconstruction.
