Adrian Purtell (born 31 January 1985) is an Australian rugby league footballer for the Canberra Raiders of the NRL. His usual position is Centre.
Purtell made his debut for the Canberra Raiders in Round 1 2006 against the Manly Sea Eagles. In 2006 he was crowned the club's Rookie of the Year. During the season, he also re-signed with the club until the end of 2008.
In round 6 of 2007 Purtell was shifted from the wing to the centres. Purtell took this opportunity with both hands, scoring two tries in his first match in the new position and showing consistent form after that match.
Purtell was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in the middle of 2007. He missed the rest of the season as a result. This came at a cruel time for Purtell as he had only just cemented a spot in the centres. In his last game of 2007 he scored 3 tries against the St George Illawarra Dragons, including a 90 metre solo effort.
After a long recovery Purtell has made a successful Return to Rugby League. On March 16 2008, Purtell completed his remarkable return by crossing over for 2 tries against the Newcastle Knights. He ended the 2008 season as top try-scorer for the Raiders.
