A tall, strong, attacking midfielder, Nick played twice in England’s successful Victory Shield campaign of 2009-10, making his debut in the 1-0 win over Northern Ireland and then going onto the Montaigu Tournament where he scored his first England goal in the 6-0 dismissal of Gabon.
He made his U17 bow at the start of the 2010-11 season and had been a regular over the season whilst also becoming a regular in the Crewe first-team.
