Dean Treister is an Australian former rugby league footballer of the 1990s, and 2000s. A member of the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks team, Treister played many games for the club from 1993 to 2003, including the 1997 Super League Grand Final. His position of choice was hooker.[1]

Dean Treister was a local Cronulla junior and made his first-grade debut in 1995 after winning the President's Cup premiership with Cronulla. Treister was known for his creative ability in attack and his ability to control the game. Throughout his time at the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks he was a favourite amongst the fans.

He joined Hull F.C. part way through the 2003 NRL Season after being dropped to reserve grade alongside fellow club stalwart Nick Graham by new coach Chris Anderson.[2] It was reported that his demotion to reserve grade occurred as a result of club politics, with a rumoured falling out between himself and the coach the alleged cause.[3]

Dean has been living in the United States since he retired and is married with 3 children.
