James Segeyaro (born 10 November 1990 in Goroka, Papua New Guinea) is a professional rugby league footballer for the Penrith Panthers of the National Rugby League (NRL).[2] Playing in the position of hooker, he joined the Cowboys as a teenager, making his NRL debut for them during the 2011 season.
Born in Papua New Guinea, Segeyaro moved to Cairns, Queensland with his mother at the age of seven.[3] After playing junior football for the Cairns Ivanhoes club, Segeyaro moved to the South Sydney Rabbitohs in 2007. After being cut from the Souths' roster due to disciplinary issues,[1] he returned to North Queensland to play for the Cowboys. He was captain of the Cowboys' Toyota Cup team in 2010 and played for the Northern Pride in the Queensland Cup.[4] He was selected in the Junior Kangaroos at the end of the 2010 season.[5]
Segeyaro broke into the Cowboys' NRL squad in 2011 after undergoing a shoulder reconstruction at the end of the previous season.[6] His first-grade debut came in the Cowboys' Round 3 match against the Melbourne Storm.[1] He went on to appear for the Cowboys in 19 matches that season,[7] and was the club's starting hooker for the qualifying final defeat to the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles, displacing veteran hooker Aaron Payne.[8] At the end of the season he made his debut for the Papua New Guinea national team in a 36–22 defeat to the Australian Prime Minister's XIII.[9]
