Jason Croker (born March 10, 1973 in Crookwell, NSW) is an Australian rugby league player for the Catalans Dragons in the Super League (Europe) competition and has also played for the Canberra Raiders, the New South Wales Blues and the Australian Kangaroos.
While attending Batemans Bay High School, Croker played for the Australian Schoolboys team in 1989.[1]
Croker was named the Canberra Raiders' rookie of the year in 1991 and he went on to play somewhat of a utility position over his long career, filling into many spots throughout his team. His 120 tries for Canberra is a club record and in 2000 he was named the Raiders' player of the year.
In 2006 Croker played his 300th game for the Raiders, becoming the first to achieve this honour for the Raiders.[2]
In Jason Croker's last game in Canberra he was given the keys to the city by Chief Minister Jon Stanhope in front of over 21,000 fans.
