William Lloyd (born 14 May 1990) is a New Zealand rugby union player who currently plays as a lock for Auckland in the ITM Cup.[1][2][3]

Career

Lloyd played his junior rugby in the North Harbour region but moved over the bridge to Auckland in 2012 and played his club rugby with Auckland Marist.[1] He was called up by the Blues ahead of the 2014 Super Rugby season to train as an apprentice in the absence of the injured Culum Retallick, however he was unable to win a full-time contract.[4] He was subsequently part of the Auckland side for the 2014 ITM Cup and made 7 appearances which duly convinced the Blues to include him in their wider training group for 2015.[5]
