A Queensland State of Origin representative prop forward, he played his club football with the South Queensland Crushers, Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks and Sydney Roosters in Australia, and with the Warrington Wolves and Castleford Tigers in England.

Nutley was named the Redcliffe Dolphins player of the year in 1996 before joining the South Queensland Crushers in 1997. He later played for the Warrington Wolves in the English Super League competition and the Sydney Roosters in the National Rugby League (NRL).

Nutley made his debut in 2005, playing for Queensland in the State of Origin. His position of choice is at Prop forward.

In 2006 Danny Nutley was voted into the Super League Dream Team.

"It's a good achievement and fantastic to be in a team with this calibre of player," said the then Castleford captain Nutley, who finished the year as the competition's top tackler as well as the leading metre-maker.

He played again in Sydney, having returned to the NRL in 2007 following a successful stint in the Super League competition with the Castleford Tigers. In 2008 he left the Sydney Roosters to rejoin former club Cronulla.[1]

He retired following the conclusion of the Sharks 2008 season.[2][3]
