Herbert John Pearce (3 April 1908 – 4 November 1955) was a New Zealand rugby league player who represented his country.

Early life

Pearce was born, raised and educated in Christchurch.

Playing career

After playing rugby league for the Marist Club and Canterbury from 1926 to 1927, Pearce moved south to Dunedin and joined the Christian Brothers Rugby League Club. Considered at the time to be one of the fastest league wingers in the country, Pearce represented Otago in 1928 and 1929 before gaining national selection in 1930, when the New Zealand side toured Australia,[1] playing in two matches against New South Wales. He also represented the South Island in 1930.

He later drowned in Foveaux Strait in 1955, and was buried at Bluff Cemetery.[2]
