Todd Robert Feather (born 19 September 1977) is a New Zealand former professional rugby union player.[1]
Feather grew up in Reporoa, a small community between Rotorua and Taupo. He is the younger brother of Hurricanes forward Campbell Feather and was educated at New Plymouth Boys' High School.[2]
After training as an engineer, Feather picked up work in Perth and made the Western Australia state side for a match against the 2001 British Lions. His four years in the city culminated in a starring role at fly-half for Perth Gold in their 2003 Australian Rugby Shield premiership win, which helped secure him a contract with the Queensland Reds.[3]
Feather played three of the first round rounds of the 2004 Super 12 season with the Reds before a broken foot ended his campaign. He competed for French club Bayonne in the 2004–05 Top 16 season. In 2005, Feather returned home and made a belated debut in New Zealand top-level rugby with Taranaki at 27-years of age.[3]
