After a Second XI career in Australia, moved to New Zealand to play first class cricket for Northern Districts from 2007. A left-handed batsman and occasional right-arm off-break bowler, Merchant continually alternated between Northern Districts' First and Second XIs into the 2009 season.[1] During his career, he has scored more than 1,000 runs in First and Second XI cricket, including two centuries and five half-centuries.[2] He was formerly a professional at the Toronto Cricket Club in Canada.[3]

Merchant is now the stand-in first grade captain of Manly Warringah District Cricket Club in Sydney Grade Cricket.[4]
