Corey Payne (born 7 May 1984 in Sydney, New South Wales) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer in the National Rugby League (NRL) competition. Payne last played for the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs and previously played for St George Illawarra Dragons and Wests Tigers.[3] Payne primarily plays at lock.
Payne made his NRL debut in the first game of the 2005 season, scoring a try against the Bulldogs.[4] He played his junior football with the Chester Hill Hornets.[5]
Late in 2009, it was announced that Payne had signed for the 2010 season with the Bulldogs, where he had played in lower grades.[6] However, an injury to his shoulder in the pre-season threatened to sideline him for the rest of the year.[7] He made his debut for the Bulldogs in the last round of the regular season.
Payne has previously been nominated for the Ken Stephen Medal for his contributions to rugby league off the field, and is well known for community and charity work.[6] He graduated from the University of Sydney with a Bachelor's degree in Commerce.[8]
Payne retired from rugby league at the age of 28.
On the 14th April 2016 Payne was announced as the new Penrith Panthers CEO.
