Solid, no-nonsense prop came up through the Parramatta juniors to take his place in the club's premiership-winning team in 1983. Mares, who was only 19-years-old at the time, was in the Bob O'Reilly mould-a deft ball-player and a determined runner but similarly, injury-plagued. After spending six months playing in France during the 1982-83 off-season, he looked set for a great career but a knee injury in 1987 ruled him out for 12 months. After Mares recovered, he left the club to play with Easts (much to the disgust of Parramatta coach John Monie) but a recurrence of the injury ended Mares' career in 1989.

Paul Mares (born 20 September 1963) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer of the 1980s. Mares made his first grade debut for Parramatta in 1982 but only featured in three matches that season and was not a member of the 1982 premiership winning side. In 1983, Mares was part of the Parramatta side which won its third consecutive premiership defeating Manly-Warringah in the grand final. Mares then played in the 1984 grand final loss to Canterbury which was Parramatta's fourth consecutive grand final appearance. Over the next couple of seasons, Mares struggled with injuries and missed out on being selected in Parramatta's 1986 premiership winning team. In 1989, Mares moved to Eastern Suburbs but only managed to make six appearances before a recurring knee injury forced him into retirement.
