Daryl Anthony Powell (born 21 July 1965) is an English professional rugby league coach who is the head coach of Wakefield Trinity in the Super League and a former professional rugby league footballer. He played as a stand-off in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s for the Sheffield Eagles, the Keighley Cougars and the Leeds Rhinos, as well as Balmain Tigers and Gold Coast Seagulls in Australia. He played more than 450 games including 33 caps for Great Britain, and made appearances in the Super League Grand Final and in two Challenge Cup Finals for Leeds. At Sheffield he formed a key partnership with Mark Aston, and holds the club record for the most individual tries in a match (5) and he did hold the record for most career tries (114) until this was broken by Menzie Yere in 2013. Powell's first move into coaching was with Keighley Cougars as a player-coach. After retiring, he became head coach of the Leeds Rhinos in 2001, and later became their director of rugby. He coached the Ireland national rugby league team as well as rugby union side Leeds Tykes, before a return to domestic rugby league in 2008 with Featherstone Rovers in the Championship who he led to three consecutive first-placed finishes. In 2013, he was appointed head coach of the Castleford Tigers in the Super League where, across nine seasons, he won the League Leaders' Shield and reached three major finals. He coached the Warrington Wolves for two seasons before taking charge of Wakefield Trinity ahead of the 2024 campaign.
