Austin Buchanan (born 22 May 1984[1]) is a professional rugby league footballer for Dewsbury.[1]
Buchanan started playing at age 14 at Milford and went on to play for Leeds (Academy), York City Knights (two spells), Castleford Tigers,[1] London Broncos[2] and Wakefield Trinity Wildcats.[1] He was twice an Academy Winner with Leeds, a National League Two Grand Final runner-up with York and the following year won promotion from National League Two with York.[1]
According to the Dewsbury website, 2008 marks Buchanan's second year with Dewsbury and he "looks to have pretty much secured his place in the first team."[1]
He is the half-brother of Leeds and Great Britain international Jamie Jones-Buchanan.
