Abbas Miski (born 25 July 1995) is a Lebanese rugby league footballer who plays for the Wentworthville Magpies in the Intrust Super Premiership NSW competition.[4][5]. He is a Lebanese national representative who primarily plays at centre.

Playing career

The son of Lebanese immigrants to Australia,[6] Miski played his junior rugby league for the Arncliffe Scots and the Kingsgrove Colts. He played S. G. Ball Cup for the St. George Illawarra Dragons, represented Lebanon at under-18 level in 2013,[7] and played for the Parramatta Eels in the National Youth Competition in 2015, scoring 12 tries in 24 matches.[8] Miski joined the North Sydney Bears in the New South Wales Cup in 2016. After two seasons with Norths, Miski left the club as he was not included in the 2018 Intrust Super Premiership NSW squad.[9]. In 2018, Miski joined The Wentworthville Magpies. On 22 September 2018, Miski scored a try for Wentworthville in their 38-4 victory over St Marys in the Ron Massey Cup grand final.[10]

Representative career

Miski made his debut for Lebanon in their 2014 Hayne/Mannah Cup match against Fiji on 19 October 2014. On 4 August 2017, he was named in Lebanon's 40-man training squad for the 2017 World Cup.[11]. Miski played on the wing for Lebanon during the 2017 World Cup playing in all four games. Before the third pool game against Australia, Miski garnered media attention for his almost mirror image look of Australian winger Josh Mansour. In the quarter final against Tonga, Miski scored two tries in Lebanon's narrow loss which ended 24-22. [12][13]
