Josh Dugan is a rugby league player for the Canberra Raiders in the National Rugby League competition. He plays mainly at fullback but can also act as a playmaker.^[1] Dugan is also a good goalkicker and fills in for Terry Campese. As an 18 year old he was man of the match in the 2008 Toyota Cup grand final. After initially sharing game-time with David Milne, Dugan established his position in First Grade during the 2009 season. In his debut season of 2009 he finished 1st in the NRL in average running metres per game (191.5) and 7th in total running metres (3064). He also led the NRL in average kick return metres per game (82.5) and finished 3rd overall (1321) behind Billy Slater and Jarryd Hayne owing only to the fact he started the season in the Toytoa Cup and played just 16 games. He also finished 8th in tackle breaks (110)^[2] and was short-listed for the Dally M "rookie of the year" award (losing to Jamal Idris) in what was an impressive debut season. Dugan was also named Canberra's rookie of the year and was the joint winner of the Mal Meninga medal for the Raiders player of the year for 2009 with Josh Miller.^[3] In the final round of the 2009 season Dugan pulled off a courageous tackle on Brisbane's Dave Taylor as he charged down the sideline to prevent a certain try.^[4]^[5]

Towards the end of the 2009 NRL season, Dugan cemented his spot at fullback for the Raiders and he is fast becoming one of the game's most promising talents. Josh hasn't made the step to 1st grade yet he is still a better player in under 20's where dugan was more successful, Josh will become a great player in the future if he puts his mind in the game.
