Michael Crockett (born in Sydney, Australia) is an Australian rugby league player. His position of choice is on the wing. He is especially noted for his quick pace.

Early years

Michael started his rugby league career playing for the Nowra Warriors.^[1] He was then a junior at the St George Illawarra Dragons club for two years from 2003. In 2005 he moved to Melbourne and joined the Melbourne Storm. He spent one year with the Storm before moving to Sydney to join the Wests Tigers

Crockett made his first grade debut for the Wests Tigers in Round 1 of the 2006 season. He played in eight games for the club that year, scoring seven tries.

Warriors

The New Zealand Warriors then signed him on a two year deal and he played 14 games for the Warriors in 2007. He was sent off in Round 12 while playing against the Canterbury Bulldogs for a high shot on Cameron Phelps.^[2][3]

When not selected by the Warriors Crockett played for the Auckland Vulcans in the NSW Cup and for the Counties Manukau Jetz in the Bartercard Cup.

On 13 August 2007 while in Sydney with the Warriors, he was charged with sexual assault by the New South Wales police.^[4][5][6] However the charges were later dismissed, after over a year of legal proceedings.^[7]

Crockett failed to impress in 2008, playing only six games for the club and often being overlooked for played such as Malo Solomona, Aidan Kirk and Manu Vatuvei. He was not offered a new contract by the club when his two year deal expired.

2009

Crockett joined Paul McGregor at the Western Suburbs Red Devils club in the Illawarra Rugby League competition.^[8]
