Nic Mayhew (born 28 November 1988 in Auckland, New Zealand), is a rugby union player for Harlequins in the Aviva Premiership. He plays in the front row at Prop.

Mayhew started out playing rugby at local club Northcote, part of the North Harbour Rugby Union. In 2010 Nic was selected for the North Harbour development team [1] and played for the side in that year's ITM Cup.[2] In 2011 he left New Zealand and, with a recommendation from former All Black and current North Harbour forwards coach Craig Dowd,[3] joined Harlequins.

Nic broke his ankle in 2011/12 preseason training, but eventually debuted for Quins in the second round of the LV Cup against Sale.[4] He had limited opportunity for first team rugby in his first year with Quins, but was dual-registered to Championship side Esher to gain experience.

As his father was born in England, Nic is qualified to play for both England and New Zealand. His brothers, Richard and Mike, both play for Newcastle Falcons and Mike started against Quins in their home fixture against Falcons when Nic made his Aviva Premiership debut from the bench.[5]
