Ben Daley (born 27 June 1988 in Sydney, Australia) is a national representative rugby union footballer who plays professionally for the Queensland Reds. In 2008 Daley joined the Queensland Reds as a rookie and in the same year played for the Australia U20 side. Daley was selected as run on LH prop in 12 of the 13 matches played by the Queensland Reds 2010 Super 14 team, and missed only the last match due to an unfortunate injury. He went on to make his debut for Australia later that year against England, becoming Wallaby No. 842.

In 2011 Daley started at loose head prop in the Super Rugby Championship winning Queensland Reds team, beating the Canterbury Crusaders to win their first title of the professional era.

In 2015, Daley founded 'Be Great Do Good,' an initiative aimed at promoting the notion that an athlete can be great on the field, whilst doing good off it. Using his scrum cap as a vehicle to drive the campaign, Daley supported a different charity each week during the Super Rugby season, with the logos and colors unique to that charity being emblazoned on his headgear. The one-of-a-kind headgear was then used by the charity to raise funds for their cause.

He is currently completing a Bachelor of Laws at Bond University.[1]
