Josh Hoffman Biography

Birthday Mar 10
Birth Year 1988

Josh Hoffman is one of the most popular and richest Rugby League Player who was born on March 10, 1988 in Mackay, Queensland, Australia. Josh Hoffman (born 10 March 1988) is Josh Hoffman (born 10 March 1988) is a New Zealand international rugby league footballer who plays as a wing center and fullback with the Townsville Blackhawks in the Queensland Cup.

He is a relative of the former Brisbane Broncos player Wendell Sailor, St Helens R.F.C. players Ben Barba, South Sydney Rabbitohs player Dane Gagai and Travis Waddell. Hoffman is from Ngati Pikiao bloodline. Hoffman owns two girls: Leilani Grace (who was born in 2013) and Evie (who was born in the year 2015) with his long-term partner Emma Kerr, whom he was married on December 10, 2011 at the Coral Sea Resort in Airlie Beach. His wife and he were on honeymoon in Hawaii prior to returning to Broncos training for the 2012 season.

Due to the shock arrival of Scott Prince from the Gold Coast Titans, Hoffman was shifted to the wing so that Corey Norman could play at fullback. Hoffman had a flying start on the wing, scoring 7 tries in his first 6 matches, including a hat-trick in round 3, in the Broncos 32-26 loss against the Melbourne Storm. For the 2013 Anzac Test, Hoffman was selected to play for New Zealand at fullback, scoring a try right on half-time in the Kiwis 32-12 loss against Australia at Canberra Stadium. Hoffman played on the wing until round 20, when Corey Norman was dropped to the Queensland Cup and Hoffman was returned to his preferred position of fullback. Hoffman finished the 2013 NRL season as the Broncos highest tryscorer with 15 tries in 24 matches. Following the 2013 season, Hoffman was named in the New Zealand Kiwis Rugby League World Cup squad. On 20 October, Hoffman played at fullback in the Kiwis’ 50-0 World Cup warm-up game over the Cook Islands. Two days before the Kiwis’ first regular World Cup pool game clash against Samoa, Hoffman dropped the bombshell on the Broncos by asking for an early release from his current Broncos contract (which expired in 2015) to join the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, following Justin Hodges comments stating that Hoffman was ‘not’ the right player to play fullback for the Broncos. Hoffman played fullback in the Kiwis’ first regular World Cup game, scoring a try in the Kiwis’ 42-24 win against Samoa. The following week, coach Stephen Kearney rested him in the Kiwis’ 48-0 win over France. However, the week after that Hoffman featured in the Kiwis’ 56-10 win over PNG. However, Hoffman was ruled out of the Kiwis’ quarter final clash against Scotland due to a shoulder injury. Despite recovering from a shoulder injury and being cleared to play, Hoffman did not play again in the World Cup finals.

Hoffman ended pre-season speculation around his future at the Brisbane Broncos by saying that he was staying with the club and was happy to play anywhere in the Broncos’ backline. In February 2014, Hoffman was selected in the Broncos inaugural 2014 Auckland Nines squad, where the team finished runners-up. Hoffman started the season, playing at five-eighth for the Broncos. This was Hoffman’s first stint playing at Five-Eighth since his Mackay junior playing days as a 17-year-old kid. In the lead-up to the Broncos ANZAC Day home-game match against the South Sydney Rabbitohs, Hoffman suffered a leg injury in the final Broncos training session, which ruled him out of that NRL ANZAC Day clash and the Anzac Test. However, Hoffman return from injury in round 9 against the North Queensland Cowboys in the Broncos 27-14 loss at 1300SMILES Stadium. Hoffman featured at five-eighth until round 18. In round 19, Hoffman shifted back to fullback, while Broncos teammate Ben Barba shifted to five- eighth for the clash against the New Zealand Warriors. During the game, Hoffman helped the Broncos to a 28-22 win at Suncorp Stadium by producing a performance that included; saving 4 tries and making 98 metres and 6 tackle- bursts from 10 runs. Hoffman went on to play fullback for the Broncos regular season games until round 23, against the South Sydney Rabbitohs, where Hoffman picked-up a leg injury in the second half of the Broncos 42-16 loss at ANZ Stadium which ruled him out for the rest of the season. Hoffman finished the Brisbane Broncos 2014 NRL season with him playing in 20 matches and scoring a try. On 6 October, Hoffman was dropped from the New Zealand Kiwis’ initial Four Nations squad. However, following a season-ending injury to Panthers rookie winger Dallin Watene-Zelezniak leading up to the Kiwi’s first Four Nations game against Australia in Brisbane, Hoffman was called into the squad. On 30 October 2014, after months of speculation, Hoffman signed a 3-year deal with the Gold Coast Titans.

Hoffman played in 16 games and scored six scores for the Broncos during the 2010 NRL season. Hoffman suffered a leg injury in round 3 of the match with the Gold Coast Titans, in the Broncos 14-8 victory in Cbus Super Stadium, and which kept him out till round thirteen. Hoffman played in every Broncos game following his return from a leg injury in round 13 until round 26. He injured his leg during the round 26 match against the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles during the first half , and it put an end to his season. In addition, the injury meant that Hoffman was not able to participate in his place in the New Zealand national rugby league team in their trans-Tasman Test match as well as the their 2011 Four Nations tournament squad. The 26th of October in 2011 Hoffman signed a contract extension until 2015. Following his resignation the following day, he stated that he wanted to moving between fullback and five eighth in the 2012 season. He will replace the club captain who was retiring Darren Lockyer in the number six jumper.

On 20 April 2012, Hoffman made his international debut for the New Zealand national rugby league team, playing at fullback in the Kiwis 20-12 loss to Australia in the 2012 Anzac Test at Eden Park. Despite the loss, Hoffman produced a strong performance; making a couple of strong runs/metres with the ball and also making a try-saving tackle on Brisbane Broncos club teammate and Australian Kangaroos centre, Justin Hodges. During the week before round 23 against the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, Hoffman was axed to the Redcliffe Dolphins in the Queensland Cup after he was late for training. Hoffman returned in the next week for the Broncos in round 24 against the Melbourne Storm, playing on the wing in the Broncos 19-18 loss at Suncorp Stadium. Hoffman played in 23 matches and scored 3 tries for the Broncos in the 2012 NRL season. Following the 2012 season, Hoffman was selected to play fullback for New Zealand in the post-season trans-Tasman test against Australia at 1300SMILES Stadium. Australia won the game 18-10. Despite the loss, Hoffman was one of the best players on the field, producing a try-saving tackle on Johnathan Thurston, making a couple of great touches with the ball and producing a number of good runs with the ball.
