Daniel Igbinedion
English rugby league player
Daniel Igbinedion is a rugby league footballer who plays as a prop. He played most recently for the Oldham Roughyeds in the Championship.
Playing career
He began his professional career with Oxford, having begun in London Broncos' youth set-up, before moving to Super League side Castleford Tigers. Despite not making a senior appearance for the Tigers under the stewardship of Daryl Powell, Igbinedion impressed during a loan spell at the Dewsbury Rams. In 2017 he made his Challenge Cup début for Dewsbury against Newcastle Thunder. He then went on to play 14 more senior appearances for the championship side before being snapped up by fellow league side Featherstone Rovers.
However, he failed to make an impact in the team as he only played three games in the senior side at Featherstone and on 29 November 2017 it was announced Igbinedion was to join the Sheffield Eagles ahead of the 2018 season.
During the 2018 season Igbinedion rejoined Dewsbury on a permanent basis and made a further 32 appearances before joining Oldham on 1 January 2020.
After just a single appearance for Oldham, Iginedion was released by the club.
Personal life
In October 2021 Igbinedion was found guilty, at Bradford Crown Court, of controlling and coercive behaviour and three counts of assault on his former girlfriend.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Daniel Igbinedion”, the useful work is to connect “english rugby league player” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 5, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q29834502. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2017, 2018, 2020 and 2021.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
