Patrick Herbert (born 10 January 1997) is a New Zealand rugby league footballer who last played as a for the Gold Coast Titans in the NRL.
Herbert previously played for the New Zealand Warriors in the National Rugby League.
Herbert was born in Whakatāne, New Zealand.
He played junior rugby union for the Tamaki Rugby Club.
In 2015 Herbert made the switch to rugby league and signed with St. George Illawarra.[2] [3] [4]
In 2016 he re-signed with St. George, keeping him with the club until at least the end of 2018.[5]
In 2018 he signed a three-year deal with the New Zealand Warriors, effective from the 2019 NRL season.[6]
In Round 7 of the 2019 NRL season Herbert made his NRL debut for the New Zealand Warriors against the Melbourne Storm at centre, in place of the injured Solomone Kata.
After Herbert dropped the ball over the line against Cronulla-Sutherland in round 10 of the 2020 NRL season, he struggled to regain a place in the New Zealand Warriors team and was subsequently released.[7]
During the first week of the NRL finals series, the Gold Coast Titans trailed the Sydney Roosters 25–24 with less than one minute remaining in the elimination final. After the Gold Coast Titans made a break, the ball was passed to Herbert, who then proceeded to throw a flick pass over the sideline despite two being supported by two fellow Gold Coast players, who could have potentially scored the match-winning try.[8]
Herbert made 18 appearances for the Gold Coast in the 2022 NRL season scoring one try. The Gold Coast would finish the season 13th on the table and miss the finals.[9]
On 27 March, Herbert was granted an immediate release from his Gold Coast contract.[10]
