Leroy Rivett (born 17 December 1976 in Leicester, England) is an English rugby league player who currently plays for the English National League One side, Leigh Centurions as a winger.
His amateur career began for the Leeds side Pendas Panthers for the under-eleven age-group, but he soon moved to play for East Leeds, where he joined numerous other future professionals in a very strong junior team. As this team grew older, it won numerous trophies, most notably the BARLA National Youth League and National Youth Cup double in 1995.
Rivett is perhaps best known for his performance for Leeds Rhinos in the Challenge Cup final at Wembley Stadium in 1999 when he grabbed four tries against London Broncos and walked away with the Lance Todd Trophy as man of the match.
