Career
Nathan Charles played for Knox Grammar in Sydney on the Saturday, and the Canterbury SG Ball team on either the Friday or Sunday during his final two years of schooling (2005-6).
Charles signed a Bulldogs contract, but had an agreement that if he made the Australian Schoolboys team, he could get out of the deal. Selection in the 2006 Schoolboys line-up ensured he was Super rugby, rather than NRL, bound.
He played for the ACT Brumbies in 2008–09, also making the Australian under-20 team.
Charles first Super 14 game was for the Western Force in 2010. His debut was in the eighth round against the touring South Africa side, The Stormers.
In October 2010 at 21 years of age, Nathan Charles was selected to the Qantas Wallabies Training Squad for the 2010 Spring Tour.
He is the only Super Rugby player with Cystic fibrosis.[1]
