Clifford John Mytton (born 24 January 1969) is a New Zealand former professional rugby union player.[1]
Born in Auckland, Mytton played several seasons with North Harbour during the 1990s as a second five-eighth, having to contend with All Blacks Frank Bunce and Walter Little for a place in the line up.[2]
Mytton made his name in French rugby playing in a strong Stade Français team, which he joined in 1997. He featured in three French Championship-winning sides and scored an unusual try in their 1998 final triumph over Perpignan, gathering a ball that had hit the post from a Diego Domínguez penalty attempt. In 2000, Mytton earned a French Barbarians call up alongside former North Harbour teammate Ian Jones, for a match against a New Zealand XV.[3] He appeared in Stade Français's 2001 Heineken Cup final loss to the Leicester Tigers.[4]
