Richard Kingi (born 17 March 1989 in Tauranga, New Zealand) is an Australian professional Rugby union footballer.[1] While his usual position is half back, he often plays on the wing[2] and sometimes at fullback.
Career
Brought up in Te Puke near the Bay of Plenty, Kingi's family moved to Australia when he was 15 years old.[3]
He played for Sunnybank rugby club, before going onto representative football that included the Queensland U19s, U20s, the IRB Junior World Championships and the Australian Sevens. He travelled with the Wallabies spring tour of Japan and Great Britain in 2009, and made his Wallabies debut against the Cardiff Blues.[1][4]
In 2009–10 Kingi was reserve halfback for the Queensland Reds, behind Will Genia.[5] He signed a two-year deal with the Melbourne Rebels in March 2010,[6] and in 2011 his competitors for the Rebels halfback role were Nick Phipps, and former Wallaby Sam Cordingley.[7]
In October 2010, Kingi was named as one of 12 uncapped players in the Wallabies' 40-man squad to train for its tour of Hong Kong and Europe.[8] When he wasn't required for Wallabies training he travelled to Lorne to be part of the Rebels' pre-season team-building activities.[9]
Personal life and relatives
Kingi is a father of three children.[10] His cousin Tanerau Latimer is a Chiefs flanker, New Zealand Maori representative[11] and former All Black.
