Aaron Raper : biography

28 July 1971 –

Aaron Raper (born 28 July 1973 in Sydney, New South Wales) is an Australian former rugby league footballer of the 1990s.

Raper played in Australia for the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks and Parramatta Eels and in England for the Castleford Tigers. He also represented Australia on several occasions, and was selected as an interchange player to represent New South Wales in one game of the 1997 State of Origin series but did not take the field. His position of choice was hooker although he could also fill other spots in the team.

Raper is probably best known for being the son of rugby league immortal Johnny Raper and the brother of former Cronulla Sharks head coach Stuart Raper.

As of 2010, Raper is the captain-coach of the Collegians team in the Illawarra Rugby League. He previously coached the Cronulla Sharks Jersey Flegg Cup team and the University of Wollongong Bulls.
