Club career
Nash previously played for Port Kembla in the Illawarra League, before moving to NSW Premier League side APIA Leichhardt in 2007. After winning the 2007 Johnny Warren Cup with Nash in goal,[1] APIA narrowly missed out on a finals place, finishing fifth.
After trialling with Sydney FC through the 2007 pre-season, Nash was offered a short-term contract for the start of the A-League 2007-08 season as cover for injured reserve keeper Ivan Necevski. On 9 September 2007 he made his A-League debut in place of Clint Bolton who was on international duty, becoming only the second goalkeeper to appear for Sydney in the A-League.[2] His strong performance impressed some commentators,[3] keeping a clean-sheet. His short-term contract finished on 10 October 2007 on Necevski's return from injury.
Nash was loaned to Adelaide United for four weeks to cover the injured Mark Birighitti.[4]
He has signed for APIA Leichhardt Tigers in the NSW Premier League.
Nash signed with the Newcastle Jets to cover for injured keeper Neil Young after the exit of the current replacement keeper Paul Henderson to rivals Central Coast Mariners. Nash made his debut for the club in a 2-0 win over North Queensland Fury.
