Don Schofield was an Australian rugby league footballer of the mid 20th century. After playing country rugby league for the Cessnock club, he played in the New South Wales Rugby Football League premiership for the Western Suburbs Magpies, scoring two tries in their Grand Final win in the 1952 season. He suffered a groin injury in that match which required surgery in the off-season.[1] Towards the end of his career he captained a Newcastle team against the touring Great Britain side in 1962.
Don Schofield died in April 1999, aged 68.
