Corey Norman (born 3 February 1991 in Australia), is an Australian rugby league player for the Brisbane Broncos in the NRL competition. He plays as a full-back or as a five-eighth.[1]

Norman was named in the Brisbane Broncos team for round 1 of the 2010 NRL season.[2][3] He did enough to impress during pre-season trial games against the likes of the Canberra Raiders to make the Broncos side for the season opener.[4][5] He beat off opposition from Josh Hoffman to claim the number 1 jersey.[6]

His junior club were the Beenleigh Lions. Corey was a student of Rugby League school Keebra Park High on the Gold Coast, the same school that has produced the likes of Benji Marshall, Ben Te'o, Rangi Chase, Robert Lui, Greg Eastwood and many more.[7] Norman has been compared with Broncos legend Darren Lockyer,[8] with his "tricks" being noted with regards to his skill level.[5][9] He is also considered a perfect replacement of AFL bound Karmichael Hunt due to his similar playing style and build.

He was named as the Brisbane under 20's team back of the year in 2009.[5]

2010

Corey was selected to play fullback for the Brisbane Broncos in round one of the 2010 NRL season against the North Queensland Cowboys. He made an impression in the opening minutes by saving two early tries. In the 19th minute he set up Israel Folau in the corner for the first try of the night. Three minutes later, Norman delivered a perfectly weighted pass to captain Darren Lockyer to send him over for the second try of the night which helped the Broncos stay in front for the rest of the game, eventually winning 30-24. After the game, he was named Man of the Match and became an instant hit with Brisbane fans.

He remained first choice fullback in round 2 against the Canberra Raiders. He set up Israel Folau for the Broncos' first try after a line break. The Broncos eventually lost 22-14. He finished the match with one line break, one try assist, two hit-ups, two tackles, two missed tackles and one error.
