Shane Rigon, (born 6 January 1977) and educated at Christian Brothers' High School, Lewisham, is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1990s and 2000s.
Rigon made his début in the top grade in 1996 for the Roosters against Parramatta. He played for the Roosters from the interchange bench in their 2000 NRL Grand Final loss to the Brisbane Broncos.[2]
Rigon played for the Bradford Bulls from the interchange bench in their 2001 Super League Grand Final victory against the Wigan Warriors.
