Background

MacDougall was born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

MacDougall is the youngest brother of Australian Kangaroos and State of Origin representative Adam MacDougall, former rugby league and Scottish rugby union player, Ben MacDougall and son of former NRL player Gil MacDougall.

Playing career

MacDougall made his first grade debut for Cronulla-Sutherland in round 4 of the 2002 NRL season against the Brisbane Broncos scoring a try in a 18–16 loss. MacDougall made a total of seven appearances in his debut year and scored four tries.

In 2003, MacDougall joined South Sydney. MacDougall played for Souths during a difficult period in their history where the club finished last in 2003, 2004 and 2006.[3] During the 2005 NRL season, MacDougall was suspended for ten matches after performing a dangerous tackle on Sydney Roosters player Anthony Minichiello.[4]

In 2007, MacDougall joined St. George Illawarra but only managed to play four games before being released to join Newcastle mid-season. In 2010, he signed with Melbourne and played for them during a year in which the club had two premierships stripped from them and were forced to play for no points after the NRL discovered the club had deliberately breached the salary cap between 2006–2010.[5]

MacDougall joined Canterbury-Bankstown full-time NRL squad in 2012. He only featured in two games for Canterbury and did not play in the 2012 NRL Grand Final defeat by his former club Melbourne.[6]

Career highlights

Retirement

MacDougall decided to retire from rugby league at the end of the 2012 NRL season.

gollark: I see.
gollark: Why is this only russell group ones anyway?
gollark: Also the icons are poorly scaled.
gollark: That list seems very arbitrary.
gollark: I guess you could do that. Although a language with that is probably strongly typed enough that you can't mix types in a list like in JS or whatever. Although you could do a similar thing with interfaces in TS and just have a `render` method if you need to display the thing in your list.
