He was educated at Dulwich College. He was selected for the Scottish squad for the 2004–05 qualifying through his paternal grandmother from Aberdeen after earlier appearances in the Scottish Exiles squad,[1][2][3]

Nick made his England representative debut for the England Saxons in the opening match of the 2008 Churchill Cup against the USA before injury shortened his tour.[4]

He played for England in their (non cap) game against the Barbarians in June 2008.[5]

His former clubs include Old Alleynians, Wakefield, Rotherham and Saracens. He was released by Saracens at the end of the 2008–09 season.[6]

He was the Director of Rugby and at Akeley Wood School in Buckinghamshire from the summer of 2010 to December 2012. During his tenure, he implemented a game plan modelled on a Southern Hemisphere style of play which featured aspects of all out attack and rush defence which culminated in a famous 12–10 victory against the Royal Latin in 2011.
