Danny Brough (born 15 January 1983) is a Scottish former professional rugby league footballer who played as a stand-off, scrum-half or hooker.

Brough made his Super League debut in 2005 after signing for Hull F.C., winning the Challenge Cup final with the club in the same season.

[11] During the following season, Brough lost his place in the starting lineup after the arrival of new head coach Peter Sharp, and was signed by Castleford Tigers for an undisclosed fee in June 2006.

Following Castleford's promotion, Brough was signed by rivals Wakefield Trinity in 2008 and became a key player for the team, going on to win the Albert Goldthorpe Medal that year.

In March 2010, Brough was signed by Huddersfield Giants for a fee of £30,000, and agreed to loan Danny Kirmond to Wakefield until the end of the season.

Brough's international future was thrown into question following the World Cup, as he announced his intention to switch allegiance to England in 2009, citing a lack of opportunities to play in major tournaments with Scotland.

After the tournament, Brough was shortlisted alongside Sonny Bill Williams and Greg Inglis for the RLIF International Player of the Year.

[22] His performances and leadership inspired the team to qualify for 2016's major international rugby league competition and win the European Cup for the first ever time.

[23] Again in October and November 2015, Brough decided to play for Scotland instead of taking a long off-season break and was therefore named as the captain of the Bravehearts in their 2015 European Cup campaign.
