Ben Roarty (born 5 February 1975) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer of the 1990s and 2000s. He played for the Melbourne Storm, Penrith Panthers, Huddersfield Giants and the Castleford Tigers as a second-row, loose-forward and as a prop.
Roarty was a member of the inaugural Melbourne Storm team and played in their first game on 14 March 1998, winning against Illawarra Steelers, 14-12.[1] That year he was named the club's rookie of the year.[2]
In 1999, Roarty started on the bench in the contentious Grand Final between Melbourne and St. George Illawarra Dragons. Roarty scored a try in the match and the Storm won the game, 20–18.
Seeking a regular first-grade starting position, Roarty joined the Penrith Panthers in 2002 but he was again primarily used as an interchange player. After being offered a place at Huddersfield Giants in the European Super League, Penrith granted Roarty a release and he left the Panthers half-way into their 2003 premiership winning season.[3]
Since 2007, Roarty has been coach of the Sunbury United Tigers first-grade team in the Victorian Rugby League competition.[4]
In 2009, Ben linked up as a player with Hay Magpies Rugby League Club in Group 20 in the NSW Country Rugby League.
