Kade Snowden (born 31 December 1986) is a former professional rugby league footballer of the Biddabah nation, who played as a prop in the 2000s and 2010s.
[4] So good was his form during that season that other clubs were already taking an interest in his services with Sydney Roosters coach Ricky Stuart trying to sign him.
[4] Snowden made his first-grade debut after coming off the bench for the Newcastle Knights on 13 March 2005 in the opening round clash against the Melbourne Storm at Olympic Park.
[7] He made his first start for the club three rounds later against the North Queensland Cowboys and went on to make another three appearances during the season as Newcastle finished last on the table.
Still with a suspension arising from a headbutting charge to serve from his time at the Knights, he made his debut for the club on 10 May in round 9 against the North Queensland Cowboys at Dairy Farmers Stadium.
Snowden played in Cronulla's 2008 preliminary final loss against the Melbourne Storm where they were defeated 28–0 at the Sydney Football Stadium.
[16] There were calls from coach Ricky Stuart[17] and Queensland legend Arthur Beetson[18] to pick Snowden for the New South Wales State of Origin side in the last match of the series which they had already lost for a fifth consecutive year.
There were initial concerns over his eligibility after being placed on report by Tony Archer and later being charged by the judiciary with dangerous contact for a late hit on Jamie Soward in the 22–4 loss against St.
[25][26] In August 2016, Snowden announced his retirement from rugby league due to chronic injuries that had limited him to just one game in the 2016 season.
