Josh Cordoba (born 29 January 1984) is an Australian professional rugby league player who last played for the London Broncos in the Kingstone Press Championship.[3] He previously played for the Parramatta Eels, Cronulla Sharks and Hull F.C.. He primarily plays at prop.

Cordoba debuted for the Eels in game one of the 2006 NRL season against the Newcastle Knights. He played in 14 first grade games in his rookie season, including the final eleven games of the season.[4]

Cordoba holds a Spanish passport and therefore is not subject to the normal visa restrictions on Australian players heading to the UK. [5]

At the end of the 2012 NRL season, Cordoba announced his retirement.

On 25 July 2014, Championship side London Broncos took Cordoba out of retirement with a 2-year contract.[6]

Cordoba is now renowned for relaxation retreats in Sri Lanka, mixing a Boost Juice at Narellan and his large pizza like nipples.

Cordoba’s claim to fame in his home town of Shellharbour, was monstering current Wests Illawarra First Grade Coach and former Shellharbour Sharks front rower Peter ‘The Magician’ McLeod on the tracks in an empty paddock across from Shellharbour Pub while lifelong friend Matt ‘Chook’ Cody was in the middle of a nudie run up the main street.
