Nick Malouf (born 19 March 1993) is a professional rugby union player. He represents Australia in sevens rugby. Born in Sunnybank, Queensland and playing for University of Queensland at a senior level, he debuted for Australia in November 2012.[1] As of December 2015, he currently has 22 caps.
Nick joined the Australian Sevens in 2012 and started his season strongly, helping development side the Aussie Thunderbolts to a win at the Noosa International Sevens. Originally a flanker with the University of Queensland, Malouf worked hard to develop into a fleet-footed centre with the aim of making his international Sevens debut. Nick has played in every round of the last two seasons on the World Rugby Sevens Series circuit and is arguably the most-underrated forward in the game.[2][3]
Malouf competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics.[4]
On 30 June 2017, Malouf signed a professional contract with English club Leicester Tigers to compete in the Aviva Premiership ahead of the 2017-18 season.[5]
