History
Nick is one of European rugby's leading fly-halves and he has amassed nearly 1,500 points to date in club rugby for his three professional sides - Cardiff Blues (2003-2009), Gloucester Rugby (2009-2011) and London Wasps (2011-present).
A left-footed fly-half, Nick is famous for his exciting running game as well as his long-range goal-kicking ability
Nick moved from his hometown club to Gloucester in the summer of 2009, having played a central role as Cardiff Blues thrashed Gloucester in the Anglo-Welsh Cup Final at Twickenham earlier that year.
In his two seasons at Gloucester Nick was a model of consistency for the English Premiership side, making 60 appearances and scoring in excess of 500 points as Gloucester reached the Anglo-Welsh Cup Final in 2010 (where they lost to Northampton Saints), the Anglo-Welsh Cup Final again in 2011 - where Nick was named man-of-the-match as Gloucester overcame Newcastle Falcons - and the Premiership play-off semi-finals, where a late try from Nick wasn't enough as Gloucester went down 12-10 to eventual winners Saracens.
In the summer of 2011 Nick joined London Wasps, teaming up again with former Cardiff Blues coach Dai Young.
Despite 2011/2012 being a difficult season for Wasps off the field, on it Nick was a virtual ever-present in the starting line-up, scoring 230 points in 25 appearances as the club reached the quarter-finals of the European Challenge Cup.
