John Duffy (born 2 July 1980) was the head coach of the Leigh Centurions in the Betfred Super League, and is a former Scotland international rugby league footballer who played as a scrum-half, stand-off and hooker in the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s.[2][3]
Duffy played for the Leigh Centurions, Salford City Reds and Warrington Wolves in the Super League, and also for Whitehaven. He was a Scotland international.
He has held the position of head coach at the Swinton Lions and Featherstone Rovers in the Betfred Championship.
Duffy was born in Platt Bridge, Wigan, Greater Manchester, England.
Duffy became Super League's youngest débutant when he made his Warrington Wolves début at the age of 16.[4]
He was named in the Scotland squad for the 2008 Rugby League World Cup,[5][6] and was part of the coaching staff for their 2013 Rugby League World Cup campaign.[7]
In June 2014, he was appointed head coach of Swinton Lions in the wake of Lions' player coach Ian Watson's departure to become Salford's assistant coach.
On 17 July 2017, Duffy resigned from Swinton after what had been a traumatic season for all concerned in the club. He immediately took up a new post with Featherstone Rovers after their coach Jon Sharp left the club.
On 2 June 2021, it was announced that Duffy had parted with Leigh Centurions as head coach, by mutual consent after Leigh started the 2021 Super League season with eight straight defeats.[8]
