About Nick

Having originally played the fifteen-man game, Nick Malouf made his international sevens debut at the 2012 Dubai World Series tournament and quickly established himself as a regular in the team.

He played in every game of the 2013 and 2014 World Series before rupturing his ACL in September 2015. After sitting on the sideline for the 2015-16 World Series, he returned in time to impress at the side’s final training camp in June 2016 to make the final squad.

Making his Olympic debut in Rio, Nick finished the event in eighth place after the Australian men's rugby sevens team recorded losses to Argentina and France.

After the Games, Nick returned to the 15-man game signing with the Leicester Tigers in England's Premiership Rugby. During his year-long stint with the Tigers, Nick became a regular try scorer on the wing. 

In late 2020 Nick re-committed to the Aussie Sevens squad for another Olympic campaign. During the 2019/2020 season, he was rewarded the Shawn Mackay Award which recognises him as Australia's best player for the season. 

Nick made his second Olympic appearance at the Tokyo 2020 Games, captaining the Australian men's rugby sevens team throughout their campaign. Leading by example Malouf would score twice in the group stage of the tournament, in Australia's 14-12 loss to New Zealand and 42-5 victory over South Korea, which was enough for them to progress to the knockout stages of the tournament. After a disappointing loss against Fiji, Nick would add his third of the tournament in Australia's final game against Canada. Defeating the Canadians 26-7 saw the Aussies claim 7th overall at the tournament.
