Christian Lloyd (born 24 January 1992) is a New Zealand rugby union player who currently plays as a lock for Wellington in the ITM Cup[1][2][3] and the Hurricanes in Super Rugby.[4][5]

Career

Lloyd was dogged with injury problems throughout the early part of his career and indeed was forced to take a 2-year sabbatical from the game to fully recover.[4] He returned to play 4 games for the Wellington Lions during their ill-fated 2014 ITM Cup campaign which ended in their relegation to the Championship Division. Despite this, Lloyd was identified as a player of huge potential by the Hurricanes and was named in their squad for the 2015 Super Rugby season.[5]

International Career

Lloyd was a member of the New Zealand Under-20 team that competed in the 2012 IRB Junior World Championship in South Africa.[6][7]
