Jayden El-Jalkh

Jayden El-Jalkh, also known by the nickname of "Jack-in-the-box", is a Lebanon international rugby league footballer who plays as a winger for the Western Suburbs Magpies in the NSW Cup. El-Jalkh was most notably recognised for his brave efforts in international clash between Fiji and Lebanon in 2019, where he contested the ball against a superior, Parramatta superstar, Maiko Sivo. This led to El-Jalkh ultimately losing the contest and receiving the name “little Lebanese docking boy,” or in short “Mr Docked.”
