Ron Hilditch is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer and coach. An Australian international and New South Wales State of Origin representative forward, he played club football for the Parramatta Eels with whom he won the 1981 NSWRFL Premiership.
Playing career
An Australian Kangaroo, Hilditch was selected for three internationals, all against France; once in 1978 and twice in 1981.
Hilditch was selected to represent New South Wales as a front-rower for the only State of Origin game in 1981.
Coaching career
After three years as captain-coach of Mudgee in the Country Rugby League, Hilditch coached the Illawarra Steelers in 1989 and 1990. In 1994, he succeeded Mick Cronin at Parramatta but his three years as coach of the club were not particularly successful, with only a 30% win rate.[1] Hilditch was replaced by Brian Smith in 1997.
Hilditch was inducted into the Parramatta Eels Hall of Fame in 2006.[2]
Ron Hilditch is currently a member of the Parramatta Eels Board of Directors.[3]
