Favorite Sports Guy for May 26, 2008

Nick Youngquest
From: Favorite Hunks & Other Things
 Shame on you all for not enlightening me to sex God Nick Youngquest! This Rugby hottie who used to play for the Tigers, is set to move to the Bulldogs. It was was 2005 when he posed nude as Mr July for the League Of Their Own calendar to raise money for the Koori Kids Foundation, yet I just discovered him last week. I am a creature of habit, and don't spend a lot of time looking on the net. I tend to have my favorite sites, most linked on here which I frequent daily. I am sure Nick was there at one point, but finding one of his stunning shots last week, I was on the hunt. Truly a beautiful man!


 Nick Youngquest (born 28 July 1983 in Sydney, New South Wales) is an Australian model and former rugby league player. He played for the Castleford Tigers club of Europe's Super League. He previously played for Crusaders RL, Gateshead Thunder, Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, St George Illawarra Dragons, Penrith Panthers and Bulldogs. He primarily played on the wing.


 In late 2007, Youngquest agreed to a one-year deal with the Wests Tigers, his fourth club in six years, but failed to make the NRL squad. Youngquest was released mid-way through the 2008 season and signed with the Bulldogs as a replacement for the released Cameron Phelps. After failing to make an impact in the NRL after six seasons, he moved to play for the French rugby league team Salanque Meditérrannée PIA XIII (also known as the Pia Donkeys) following the conclusion of the 2008 NRL season.


 In 2009, Nick Youngquest played for English Championship team Gateshead Thunder, where he caught the eye of Brian Noble, the coach for Crusaders RL. Youngquest signed with the Crusaders shortly before the start of the 2010 Super League season. 2011 brought a move to Super League team Castleford Tigers, he possibly played his best rugby there making 40 appearances and scoring 29 tries and 2 goals. He scored his last try at the last home game of the season against Catalan Dragons.


 In late 2012, Nick decided to step away from rugby to pursue opportunities in modeling, appearing in a campaign for Abercrombie & Fitch shot by Bruce Weber. He currently resides in New York City. In 2013, he became the face of the new masculine fragrance INVICTUS by Paco Rabanne.


 In 2006 Youngquest posed nude for the Naked Rugby League Calendar 2007-08 stirring controversy after his revealing pose - in which one hand is placed partially over his genitalia. The NRL reacted by distancing itself from the project, stating that they do not endorse nor authorize the calendar. The sales of the calendar helped to raise funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.


 Youngquest also works as a professional model. He is hired by agencies Ford Models and DT Model Management, and has done advertising campaign for designer fragrances Paco Rabanne.


 During his time as a professional Rugby League player, Nick gained exposure from his involvement with a variety of charitable organizations and was featured on the cover of numerous magazines worldwide. In 2008, Nick was discovered by David Todd and has since been represented exclusively by DT Model Management in the U.S.
