Hakim Miloudi is a French fullback who currently plays for Saint-Esteve in the Rugby League Championship. Hakim has represented France at U16, U18 and U20 level before making his full international debut against Wales in 2015.
Born in 1993, Hakim made his senior rugby league debut aged just 18 years old for Saint-Esteve during the 2013–14 season. A stand off or centre by trade, Hakim played a vital role as Saint-Esteve reached the play-offs during the 2014–15 season but were ultimately unsuccessful.
In 2016 he joined newly promoted side London Broncos on loan from Saint-Esteve until January 2017 but failed to make an impact and was subsequently released at the end of that month.
Returning to his parent club, St EsteVE finished 3rd in Ligue 1 (the top division) after being crowned champions following their promotion from National Division 2 mid-way through the 2018/19 season which saw them qualify for Europe for 2019/2020.
Where they will compete in Challenge Cup qualifying rounds along with teams such as Newport Gwent Dragons and Halifax RLFC. Having signed a two-year deal with London Broncos ahead of their return to Super League status next year, it's fair to say that Hakim has firmly secured himself a place in English rugby league history.
