John Plath is an Australian former rugby league player. He played in all of the Brisbane Broncos' first four grand final wins from the interchange bench and is the most-capped Bronco not to have played representative football.
Plath was a Queensland rugby union Schoolboy representative in 1986/87 before playing for Wynnum-Manly Seagulls. He was graded by the Brisbane Broncos from their Colts team in 1990. Plath also had a season with the London Crusaders in 1991-92.
His utility value saw him on the bench in both Broncos grand final wins in 1992-93. The following year he was a replacement player in Brisbanes 20-14 loss to Wigan in the World Club Challenge at Lang Park. Plath was also used from the bench in Brisbane's win over Cronulla in the Broncos Super League grand final for the 1997 Telstra Cup before keeping his big-game interchange reputation intact in a cameo role in the Broncos' grand final win against Canterbury in 1998.
