Early life

Amean was born in Wabag, Enga Province in Papua New Guinea. He played his junior rugby league for the Paga Panthers. He claims to be named after a Spanish actor.[3]

Playing career

Amean was signed by the Hela Wigmen in PNG's domestic competition for the 2011 season. He joined the Port Moresby Vipers the following year, but injuries to both legs meant he couldn't take the field between late-2012 and mid-2014. His form with the Vipers saw him join the Hunters in the Queensland Cup.[4]
