Early life
Lloyd Johansson was born in Melbourne, Australia to Lloyd 'Loiti' Johansson Snr and Maria ' Malia' Johansson. He played under-14 and under-16 rugby for Victoria before moving to Queensland in 2002 to complete his schooling.[1] He was selected for the Australian Schoolboys rugby union team and also represented Australia at Under 19 and 21 levels.
Career
An inside centre, Johannsson is noted for his hard-running and exceptional defence.[citation needed] He played for the Queensland Reds and captained the East Coast Aces in the now defunct Australian Rugby Championship. He made his Wallabies debut in 2005 against the All Blacks.[citation needed]
Johansson had a challenging Super Rugby season in 2007. He did not see any Super 14 action during the 2008 season and was not offered a contract with the Queensland Reds for 2009. He joined Italian club MPS Viadana in an effort to reignite his career,[citation needed] followed by a stint in 2011 with Japanese club Honda Heat.[2]
In 2012 Johansson become the first Victorian player to earn a Super Rugby contract with the Melbourne Rebels.[1][3][4][5] After playing for Melbourne Harlequin in the Dewar Shield in 2013 and 2014,[6] he was named in the Melbourne Rising squad for the National Rugby Championship inaugural season of 2014.[7]
