Nick Phinn

Nick Phinn (born 14 October 1988) is a Scottish footballer who was most recently playing amateur football for Colville Park A.F.C. in Motherwell. Phinn started his career with Scottish Premier League club Dunfermline Athletic, making his debut in 2005. The club were relegated to the Scottish First Division in 2006, then in season 2010-2011 they won the league earning promotion back to the top-flight. He subsequently had short spells at Stenhousemuir and Stranraer before joining the Sons in early 2013. His time with the Sons has been plagued by injury and he has not managed to start a league game since April 2013. Despite this he was rewarded with a new deal in August of that year. Nick has since retired and taken up Golf at Lenzie Golf Club. Nick is also a keen slimmer and has recently joined the Slimming World program, losing 4.5 pounds in his first month. His Fiancé Annamarie gave birth to their first child Lanagrace on New Year's Day. This has had an adverse effect on his golf handicap were it has gone from 22 to 26 in a matter of weeks.
