England International Nick Scruton signed from Leeds Rhinos at the start of the 2009 season having made his debut for Leeds in 2002. He quickly settled into life at the Grattan Stadium and was a model of consistency in his first year at the club. After being somewhat on the fringes at Leeds, he played in all the Bulls 28 games in 2009, starting in all but six and showing just what he is capable of.
He made his England debut in 2006 and looks certain of future international honours.
Nick was born on Christmas Eve 1984 and was brought up in Morley near Leeds. He began his career at Churwell Chiefs ARLFC before signing for Leeds Rhinos in 2000. He made his debut against Wigan in 2002, coming off the bench but at the end of that season he broke his leg in the Academy Grand Final.
That injury was followed by a fracture to his scaphoid and he was sent out on loan in 2004 to Hull to gain some game time. He actually scored a try for Hull in the game against Leeds at Headingley and made his England debut at the end of that year in the European Nations. In 2005 he bean to become a regular in the Rhinos side making eighteen appearances off the bench and scoring his first try for the club.
2006 saw him further enhance his career at Headingley with twenty six appearances and he won the Yorkshire Evening Post ‘Shooting Star' accolade that year. Injury decimated his season in 2007 but he was back and appeared in the Rhinos side that won the World Club Challenge against Melbourne and the Grand Final success over St Helens.
