Chris Hicks

Chris Hicks (born 19 March 1977) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s. He last played for the Parramatta Eels of the National Rugby League (NRL).

Super League Hicks signed for the Warrington Wolves in the Super League for the 2008 season. At 30 years old he joined Manly team-mate Michael Monaghan in moving to the Wolves for the 2008 season.

In his first season with Warrington, he scored in every single game after adopting kicking duties for the club. The first time he failed to score in a Warrington game came in a 60–8 defeat away at Harlequins on Saturday 24 March 2009, five games into his second season with the Warrington side. In each of his three years at Warrington, Hicks was the team's top try-scorer. While he was with Warrington, the team won two Challenge Cups. Hicks scored a hat-trick in the 2010 Challenge Cup Final victory over Leeds at Wembley Stadium.

Retirement and return to NRL On 3 December 2010, it was announced that Hicks had retired with immediate effect to make room for Warrington's new signing, Joel Monaghan. However, the retirement was very short-lived. Within a fortnight, Hicks signed a one-year deal with the Parramatta Eels to help fill the gap left by the retiring Eric Grothe Jr. Hicks retired at the end the 2011 NRL season. In round 26 against the Sydney Roosters, Hicks scored a try in his 200th Game.
