Jamahl Lolesi (born March 20 1981 in Auckland, New Zealand) is a New Zealand rugby league player for the Huddersfield Giants in the Super League competition.
Lolesi has previously played for Wests Tigers, Canterbury Bulldogs and Canberra Raiders in the National Rugby League. His position of choice is at Centre, but he has slotted in on the wing and at lock in his first grade career. Jamahl is known by fans as J-Lo, a play on Jennifer Lopez's nickname.
The correct spelling of Lolesi's forename is Jamahl but it has previously been spelt incorrectly Jamaal. He has gained a new nickname at Huddersfield, "Jammer the Hammer", which has been used as the basis of several promotional campaigns, for example, the Giants handing out 500 hammers to young fans at certain games.
