Controversial ex-NRL star Josh Dugan has proven himself an astute real estate player, making a massive profit on the sale of his stunning Sydney home.<\/p>\n

\n

Former NRL star Josh Dugan has earned a very handy payday with the sale of his home in Sydney\u2019s Sutherland Shire.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The former Australia and NSW star offloaded\u00a0his Gymea Bay house\u00a0earlier this month for well above the sought-after southern suburb\u2019s median price of $1.874m.<\/p>\n

The four-bedroom, two bathroom, home that came complete with a rear studio or granny flat fetched $2.1 million for Dugan, with strong interest in the beautifully renovated home driving the price up beyond its $1.8m to $2m guide.<\/p>\n

The ex-NRL star enjoyed a profit of around $1m on the home in just six years.<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

The sale was first reported by Phil Rothfield in his Sunday Telegraph gossip column\u00a0What\u2019s the Buzz<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Property records reveal Dugan, who retired from professional football at the end of last season after 215 games and 14 seasons in the NRL for the Canberra Raiders, St George Illawarra and the Cronulla Sharks, paid $1.220 million for the property in 2016.<\/p>\n

The at-times controversial 31-year-old made minimal improvements to the home, which aren\u2019t noted on property records, meaning Dugan enjoyed a profit on the home in the vicinity of $1 million in just six years.<\/p>\n

A figure equal to the annual salary of the highest paid NRL players, but without the tax drawbacks.<\/p>\n
