The oldest player in the professional game in 2024 is the one and only Sykes – who will turn 43 later this year! Well over 500 games into an illustrious playing career, Sykes is still contributing on a regular basis for Dewsbury Rams, having helped the club to promotion back to the Championship last year. He is undisputedly one of the game’s modern greats when it comes to defying age!

Matt Davies of the London Broncos tops the list off. He is 39-year-old and played just twice for the capital’s side. Whilst he’s two years older than anyone on this list, he still fell short of the oldest-ever Super League player, Steve Menzies, who was 171 days older and approaching 40.
