During a journeyman National Rugby League career in both the halves and at hooker that spanned more than 270 games, Fien played for the North Queensland Cowboys, New Zealand Warriors and the Dragons.
He was a member of the Dragons' 2010 premiership winning side and retired in 2013.
Mt Isa-born Fien also represented Queensland in the State of Origin arena, before later playing 22 Test matches for New Zealand.
Fien was at the centre of the 'Grannygate' debacle in 2006.
The Kiwis had initially claimed Australian-born Fien's grandmother was born in New Zealand, which would have allowed him to switch allegiances, but it was later revealed the birth certificate he provided belonged to his great-grandmother.
The Rugby League International Federation panel that investigated the case found the New Zealand Rugby League was aware the certificate belonged to Fien's great-grandmother, which made him ineligible for selection, but did not disclose the fact.
Since retiring from the NRL he's been involved in coaching in Illawarra rugby league with the Collegians and Thirroul clubs.
