Jack Little (12 October 1910 – 29 May 1995) was an Australian rugby league player.[1]
Born in Armidale, New South Wales, Little spent his career with several clubs north of the border, including Fortitude Valley, and regularly featured for Queensland through the 1930s.[2]
Little was the hooker for Australia in the opening Test match against the touring Great British team at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 1932, during which he suffered a leg injury that left him hospitalised.[3] His Kangaroos career also included non–international matches on their 1933–34 tour of Great Britain.[4]
