Career
editLloyd was dogged with injury problems throughout the early part of his career and indeed was forced to take a 2-year sabbatical from the game to fully recover.[4] He returned to play 4 games for the Wellington Lions during their ill-fated 2014 ITM Cup campaign which ended in their relegation to the Championship Division. Despite this, Lloyd was identified as a player of huge potential by the Hurricanes and was named in their squad for the 2015 Super Rugby season.[5]
International career
editLloyd was a member of the New Zealand Under-20 team that competed in the 2012 IRB Junior World Championship in South Africa.[6][7]
