Charles John Kingston (29 January 1908 – 29 January 1957) was an Australian rugby league player.[1]
Raised in Cootamundra, Kingston played most of his rugby league in country New South Wales. He featured in four Test matches for Australia, making his debut as a second-rower against Great Britain at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 1928. His other Test appearances came during the 1929–30 tour of Great Britain, where he was Australia's top try-scoring forward across all tour fixtures. In 1935, Kingston competed in first-grade with the Western Suburbs Magpies, but left four rounds into the season to be playing-coach of Werris Creek.[2]
