Arthur Cyril Clyde Cant (23 February 1907 – 23 March 1957) was an Australian cross-code rugby footballer.

Biography

Hailing from Gundary, outside Goulburn, Cant was educated at Fort Street High School in Sydney, where he played rugby union for Manly while still a schoolboy.[1] His preferred position in rugby union was centre three-quarter.[2]

Cant switched to rugby league during the 1930s, playing for both Western Suburbs Magpies and Canterbury-Bankstown as a centre/fullback, with a stint in between as coach of Albury.[3] [4]

In addition to the rugby codes, Cant also captained Manly in Sydney first-grade cricket.[5]
