David Croft (born 22 February 1979 in Brisbane) plays openside flanker (Number 7) for the Queensland Reds, Melbourne Rebels and Brothers.
The personification of Queensland pride and determination, David Croft has also proved tough and durable, with an unbroken total of 81 consecutive Super Rugby appearances included in his first 103 games for Queensland since making his debut against the Chiefs in 2001.
David was Australian Super 12 Rookie of the Year in 2001.
A member of the 2003 Wallabies Rugby World Cup squad, David has also captained Australia A and the Queensland Reds. He played in the landmark Prime Minister’s XV team against Japan at the end of 2006 and for the World XV against South Africa in London. In 2007 he won the prestigious Pilecki Medal, the Reds' “Players’ Player” award.
Away from rugby, David is studying for a Bachelor of Business Management at the University of Queensland.
David has a strong commitment to charity, visiting the Philippines during May 2006 as part of the Anglican Border Mission Water Appeal. The program aims to raise money to tap fresh water into Philippine villages to prevent illness and to save valuable time sourcing and carrying fresh water.
