Footy star strips for gay mag

HE'S played for Cronulla, the Dragons, Panthers and Bulldogs - now Sydney's Nick Youngquest has another claim to fame, the UK's latest footy gay icon.
Youngquest - married to dancer Kassy Lee - has set tongues wagging on celebrity sites including Perez Hilton with a daring near naked photo spread for UK gay magazine Attitude.
The mag gushes:"Attitude gets sexy this month with our ever-popular Sex Issue. Scorching hot cover star Australian Nick Youngquest gives us the only photo shoot that he has done in the UK for the launch of the Gods of Football DVD and calendar which is set to become the Dieux Du Stade of 2009.
"Believe us, this is one man you need to know about…"
The Sydneysider now playing football for the Brits says he's flattered by his gay admirers.
“I'm very flattered,” Youngquest says. “If gay men like looking at me, then that's great!”
And says he's optimistic that homophobic attitudes in the world of professional rugby will change: “We want to get to a time when everyone can be themselves … you get me?”
Frisky blog Hunk du Jour said Youngquest has “acquired a huge gay following,” while gay sports authority Outsports.com commented: “Interesting that Youngquest would pose for the cover of The Sex Issue for a gay-men's magazine. Interesting and cool ...”
After failing to make an impact in the NRL after six seasons, Youngquest moved to play for the French rugby league team Salanque Meditérrannée PIA XIII (also known as the Pia Donkeys) following the conclusion of the 2008 NRL season.
As of May 2009, Nick Youngquest now plays for English Championship team; Gateshead Thunder, in full back position.

Crusaders make double signing
20 Dec 2009
James Gordon
Crusaders have began preparing for life at Wrexham's Racecourse Ground with the signing of two Australians.
Full back Nick Youngquest, 26, moves to the club from Gateshead, having left the North East side after their parent company collapsed last month. He has played in the NRL for Cronulla, St George, Penrith and Canterbury, but was playing in France with Pia before Thunder moved for him last May.
He is joined in the Crusaders 2010 squad by back-rower Frank Winterstein who has signed from Wakefield.
Winterstein, 23, only joined the Wildcats at the beginning of 2009 but saw appearances restricted due to a broken jaw.
Anthony Seibold said: “They are adapting well to life within the Crusaders 2010 system. It will be exciting for all when they wear the Crusaders strip for the very first time.”
The duo join ex-Hull hooker Tommy Lee in Brian Noble's squad for next season, while the club also rumoured to have signed Michael Witt and Matt Utai.

Nick Youngquest, Michael Witt, Ryan O'Hara, Lincoln Withers, Jason Chan, Adam Peek and Terry Martin could be Mason's new teammates should he make the move to Wales.

<EDITED>
And full-back Nick Youngquest is relishing the challenge against a side unbeaten in their opening two games with Huddersfield Giants and St Helens.
Youngquest, 26, arrived at the Crusaders after an impressive spell with Championship club Gateshead Thunder, but has a wealth of experience, having previously played for Sydney-based sides Cronulla Sharks, St George Illawarra Dragons, Penrith Panthers and the Canterbury Bulldogs in the NRL.
“I’m really looking forward to the Hull game and playing in front of the home supporters again,” said Youngquest. “They really got behind us at the Leeds game and it was great to see so many people at the ground.
“Hopefully it will be a closer game this time because we fizzled out towards the end of the Leeds game.”
Youngquest added: “Hull are a really good side with great players around the park. They’ve recruited really well in the close season with the likes of Craig Fitzgibbon and Mark O’Meley from the NRL. Hopefully we can put in a good performance and get the result we need.”
Noble, too is looking forward to Sunday. “We were delighted with the win over Salford, the players have been working very hard and it paid off,” he said.
“But we are expecting another tough test.”

Castleford Tigers: Crusader Nick is club's 'Third Man' - Yorkshire Evening Post

Castleford Tigers: Crusader Nick is club's 'Third Man'
Published Date: 09 September 2010
Australian back Nick Youngquest was today confirmed as Castleford Tiger's third major signing for 2011.
The much-travelled full-back/ winger will join Tigers from engage Super League rivals Crusaders on a two-year deal.
He is set to join fellow recruits ex-Harlequins hooker/half-back Danny
Orr and Warrington Wolves full-back Richard Mathers at the Jungle next year.
Describing Tigers as "a club with a lot of history", Youngquest
said: "It's a new area for me and I'm looking forward to a new challenge.
"I guess there will be more expectations of me than when I came to Crusaders, but I'm ready for that."
He joined Crusaders as a full-back, but said: "I've played most of the year on the wing, which is where I'm expecting to figure and where I feel more at home.
"As a winger I enjoy scoring tries, but I like to do the hard work as well which is so important. I feel the forwards appreciate my help in taking the ball forward."
Cas boss Terry Matterson described 27-year-old Youngquest as a "genuine flier".
He said: "He is a great signing for us, he has been excellent this year.
"He made 206 metres last weekend and he is one of the biggest yardage
men in Super League.
"He is a really good finisher and defensively, he is solid.
"He is very fast and he has the most quick play-the-balls in Super League. There's some pretty impressive stats there, as impressive as any winger in the competition."
Matterson believes Youngquest's best years are ahead of him. He added: "There has been a bit of an issue with errors in his game, but that's not there any more.
"He has certainly improved in that area and hopefully he will continue to improve."
Matterson confirmed he plans to use Youngquest as a winger, but he insisted Michael Wainwright – who is now out of contract – still figures in his plans.
"I am hoping to re-sign Michael as well," said Matterson. "We are light in depth in the outside-backs. We haven't had much competition for places.
"We haven't replaced Michael Shenton with an out-and-out centre, but Ryan McGoldrick has played there a lot, so has Brett Ferres. We have got Joe Arundel and Jordan Thompson and Richie Mathers is coming in, so we have got plenty of options there."
Sydney-born Youngquest made 37 appearances in Australia's NRL, beginning his career with Cronulla in 2003 and also playing for St George-Illawarra, Penrith and Canterbury.
He played for French side Pia in 2008 before joining Gateshead Thunder the following year.
He moved to Crusaders at the start of this term and appeared in 24 of their 27 games in the regular Super League season, scoring nine tries.
Youngquest is famous in Australia for posing for a nude calendar, to raise money for a breast cancer charity. He also got his kit off to appear in gay lifestyle magazine Attitude.
Tigers are awaiting the result of their appeal against a £40,000 RFL fine imposed after a small number of fans allegedly aimed homophobic abuse at Youngquest's Crusaders team-mate Gareth Thomas during a game at the Jungle in March.
Meanwhile, Matterson confirmed Tigers are interested in signing St Helens' former Leeds, Huddersfield, Warrington and Hull KR prop Nick Fozzard.
