Kyle Lovett (born 23 March 1993) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer for the Wests Tigers of the National Rugby League. He primarily plays second-row and lock, but can also fill in at centre.
Background
Born in Leichhardt, New South Wales, Lovett played his junior football for Five Dock RSL and the Leichhardt Juniors before being signed by the Wests Tigers.
Playing career
In 2012,[2] and 2013,[3] Lovett played for the Wests Tigers' NYC team. In April 2013, he played for the New South Wales Under-20s team.[4]
On 18 July 2013, Lovett re-signed with the Tigers on a 1-year contract.[5] In 2014, Lovett moved on to the Tigers' New South Wales Cup team.[6]
In Round 1 of the 2015 NRL season, Lovett made his NRL debut for the Tigers against the Gold Coast Titans.[7] Lovett played in the centres, coming into the side as a late replacement for Chris Lawrence. The Tigers won the game with a late field goal, and Lovett said, "I could never ask for a better round one debut. To win by a field goal. It's the best feeling I've ever had."[8] After an injury to Dene Halatau, Lovett returned to first grade in round 4, playing in the second row. He scored his first NRL try early in the game, running onto a Luke Brooks pass near the try-line.[9]
