Lancen Joudo

Lancen Joudo is an Australian professional rugby league footballer for the North Queensland Cowboys of the National Rugby League. Son of Laurence and Arabella Joudo. He is by preference a hooker but can also play at Lock and Five-eighth. He made his first grade début in the 2009 NRL season in a round 23 56-10 defeat at home to Wests Tigers, where he came on off the bench. He again started on the bench in his second appearance of the season, in a 20-10 away loss to the Gold Coast Titans. During his junior and youth career, he played for the St Clair Comets and won representative honours with New South Wales Under 17's, and Australia Under 15's. He also previously played as a junior for the Penrith Panthers. Lancen attributes his success in Rugby League to his long term childhood friend Dale Klynhout, whom he always looked up to. Lancen worked at Bentley Park College as a truancy officer for a brief time. On his departure, Lance stated that he felt like he was a part of the 'Bentley Park Family'.
