Ryan Ghietti, an Australian rugby league player who represented Italy internationally and played for Northern Pride, died on November 10, 2026, aged 37.
Born in Innisfail, Queensland, Australia, on July 22, 1989, he played his junior rugby league with Innisfail Brothers. Ghietti later played for Northern Pride in the Queensland Cup, in the halves or at hooker.
His career included club rugby in Queensland and international representation for Italy, bringing together the two settings in which he played the game. Of Italian descent, he was a member of Italy’s squads for the 2013 and 2017 Rugby League World Cups. Those selections made him part of the national team’s campaigns at two editions of the tournament, four years apart. Ghietti’s path from junior football in Innisfail to the Queensland Cup and the Italian national side linked his birthplace and early rugby league club with his later club and representative roles. His playing record is associated with Northern Pride and with Italy’s World Cup squads.
