Sid Domic is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer of the 1990s and 2000s. He played in several positions for several clubs. Domic played in Australia for the Brisbane Broncos and Penrith Panthers, and in England for the London Broncos, Warrington Wolves, Wakefield Trinity Wildcats (Heritage #1215), and Hull.

Background

Of Aboriginal descent, while attending North Rockhampton High School, Domic played for the Australian Schoolboys team in 1991 and 1992.[1]

Professional playing career

Domic went on to play for the Brisbane Broncos and Penrith Panthers in the New South Wales Rugby League premiership before moving to England.

His Super League days have taken him from Warrington, Wakefield and Hull.

Sid scored the winning try at the first local derby to be played in the Super League between Hull and their local rivals Hull Kingston Rovers. Hull reached the 2006 Super League Grand final to be contested against St Helens RLFC and Domic played at centre, scoring his side's sole try in their 4-26 loss.

Sid was released from the Hull quota on 26 June to allow Mathew Head to play for the club.[2][3]

In 2008 he joined the Dewsbury Rams.

Post playing

In 2010 Domic's artistic ability led him to be selected from a field of six artists to design the Indigenous All Stars' jersey, as well as Johnathan Thurston's custom headgear, for the Annual NRL All Stars matches.[4] Much of his own knowledge in this area has been passed down to him form his Grandmother; Ivy Domic. Through his ‘fame’ from his playing career, he has visited children at many schools to expose them to Aboriginal culture and his work has been exhibited at the Rebecca Hossack Gallery in the U.K.[5]
