'''Jordan Tansey''' (born 9 September 1986) is an English rugby league footballer who plays as a {{rlp|fb}} or {{rlp|wg}}er.
He has previously played for Crusaders RL, Castleford Tigers, Hull FC, Leeds Rhinos and the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats in the Super League, the York City Knights in the Co-operative Championship and the Sydney Roosters in the NRL.<ref name="YCKSJT"/> Tansey has also played temporarily for the Dewsbury Rams and the Huddersfield Giants and on a permanent basis for Betfred League 1 side Workington Town.
He is perhaps best known for scoring the decisive try in Leeds Rhinos' Millennium Magic 2007 match against the Bradford Bulls, when he followed up a Kevin Sinfield penalty in the last play of the game which hit the crossbar; had the penalty gone over Leeds would only have drawn 38-38.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/rugby_league/6625925.stm|work=BBC News|first=Phil|last=Harlow|title=Millennium Magic day two as it happened|date=2007-05-06}}</ref>
==Early life== As a child Tansey lived in Whinmoor, Leeds. He attended Boston Spa Comprehensive School from 1998-2002, where he played for the school football team as a striker. Fellow pro Rugby League player Danny Williams also attended Boston Spa school and played for the same football team as Tansey. The two would eventually transition to Rugby despite Boston Spa School not having an actual Rugby team.
==Sydney Roosters== On 1 October 2008, Tansey agreed to a deal with Australian NRL side Sydney Roosters for two years. He was meant to rejoin the Leeds Rhinos but instead, on 4 June 2009, Tansey signed with the Hull FC for the 2010 season.<ref name="Tansey loaned to Roosters">{{cite news|url=http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12196_4230831,00.html|title=Tansey loaned to Roosters|publisher=Sky Sports|date=2008-10-01|access-date=2008-10-02}}</ref>
