Link Michael Wilfley (born July 5, 1979) is an American former rugby union international.
Born in Denver, Wilfley is the great-great-grandson of mining engineer Arthur Wilfley, who invented the Wilfley table.[1]
Wilfley attended East High School in Denver and played varsity rugby union for Oregon State University, where he was also backup placekicker to José Cortez on the football team.[2]
A utility back, Wilfley was best suited as a fly-half, but also played centre and fullback during his time with the national team, from 2000 to 2003.[3] He was capped a total of 20 times, which included an appearance at the 2003 Rugby World Cup, coming on as a substitute against Scotland in Brisbane.[4]
