George Fifield is an Australian former rugby league player.
Fifield was a nephew of Australian representative centre Cec Fifield. [1]
A winger, Fifield played President's Cup for Balmain and made his first grade debut in 1953. He scored a career high 11 tries for Balmain in the 1954 NSWRFL season, which was bettered only by his brother Jack Fifield. In 1959, Fifield joined a dominant St. George and had an immediate impact with a hat–trick on debut against Canterbury, only to have his season ended soon after due to a broken leg. [2]
Fifield competed with Illawarra club Northern Suburbs in 1961, before taking over as coach of Wentworthville. [3]
