Ian Rubin - South Sydney Rabbitohs

South Sydney Rabbitohs

Rubin is Jewish. After his family emigrated to Australia in his teens settling in Sydney, Rubin took up rugby league while at school where he was eventually spotted by Rabbitohs scouts in the early 1990s. Rubin then signed his first professional contract for the South Sydney Rabbitohs for the beginning of the 1996 season where he quickly began playing in the first team side for the Sydney club usually playing as an impact prop-forward off the bench.

Rubin eventually made his name as a workhorse forward and over the next three years would go on to make forty-five appearances for the South Sydney side.
