Terry Brian Hermansson, is a New Zealand former professional rugby league footballer. An international representative prop, he played club football in England, Australia and New Zealand.

Hermansson was a Schoolboy Kiwi in 1982 and made the Junior Kiwis in 1985.[3]

Nicknamed "The Rock" he spent his early years playing for the Canterbury sides of the 1990s before moving overseas to play professionally, first for Doncaster in England and then for the South Sydney Rabbitohs in the then NSWRL Premiership. Hermansson played for Souths in their upset 1994 Tooheys Challenge Cup final victory over Brisbane.[4][2]

At the height of the Super League war he moved to the Sydney City Roosters and played alongside fellow Kiwi prop Jason Lowrie. He returned to the South Sydney club in 1998 before signing for the Adelaide Rams for the 1999 NRL season.[5]

When the Rams were closed down before the season he signed a two-year contract with the Auckland Warriors, returning home to play in front of the New Zealand fans.[6] In 1999 he was Clubman of the Year Award.
