Adam Terry Fergus Magro (born 14 April 1971) is an Australian former professional rugby union player.
A native of Sydney, Magro played junior rugby with Coogee Seahorses and made the GPS 1st XV during his time at Sydney Boys High School.[1] He gained Australian Schoolboys representative honours in 1988, as a centre partner to future Wallaby Matt O'Connor, then continued his studies at the University of New South Wales.[2]
Magro, an outside centre, was signed by the ACT Brumbies from Randwick for the inaugural Super 12 season. His first season form was enough to earn a Wallabies call up for the 1996 end of year tour of Europe. He made his first Wallabies appearance in a tour match against Combined Scottish Districts, after which he had to return home with a broken ankle. The following year, Magro made his second Wallabies tour, but again only played uncapped matches.[3]
Finishing at the Brumbies in 1999, Magro spent the next period of his career overseas, starting with a year in Japan at Toyota Shokki. He returned to Randwick briefly in 2001, then linked up with Irish team Leinster for two seasons.[4] While studying for a Masters of Science, Magro won a blue featuring for Oxford University in the 2003 Varsity match.[5]
Magro is of Maltese descent and played Test rugby for Malta in 2004.[3]
Magro, a mortgage broker, is married to independent MP Sophie Scamps.[6]
