Nick played a leading role in Droitwich RFC's promotion campaign of 2002-03. He led from the front, often putting in some bone-crunching tackles on unsuspecting opponents.

Director of Rugby, Julian Bailey had this to say, “We will really miss his presence and leadership. I think he brought the best out of the youngsters and even the older ones who saw his commitment.”

The whole club undoubtedly wishes Nick all the best in the future.
