Mark Bugden

Mark Bugden (born 8 December 1961), nicknamed "Buggo", is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who primarily played as a hooker.

The teams he played for at a club level were: the Newtown Jets (1981−83), the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs (1984−88), and the Parramatta Eels (1989−90).

Bugden made his first grade debut for Newtown in round 22 of the 1981 season against St. George scoring two tries in a 20-11 victory at Kogarah Oval.

In 1985 he was suspended for 14 weeks for his high tackle on Steve Rogers (which resulted in litigation) and could not regain his first grade spot for the 1985 grand final.

He was a fresh reserve for Canterbury in their 24–12 win over the Balmain Tigers in the 1988 Grand Final under the coaching of Phil Gould.
