Nigel Brady (born 9 October 1979) is an Irish former rugby union footballer. He made his debut for Ulster in 2002.[1] As of January 13, 2010, Brady has capped 65 times for Ulster and was re-signed for a two-year contract extension in 2010.[2] Because of a thigh injury to Rory Best, the starter for the Ulster team, in the middle of 2009, Brady, as the second, took the lead as captain for the Ulster finale game.[3] In late 2009, Best was out once again for neck surgery and Brady filled in for the interim, which lasted until April 2010.[4][5] He last played professionally for Aurillac in the French second division in 2013-14 season.[6]
