Playing career

Nable made his first grade debut for Manly-Warringah in Round 22 1995, coming off the bench in a 32-4 victory over South Sydney at Brookvale Oval. This would be Nable's only appearance for Manly. The club would go on to win the minor premiership but were defeated in the grand final by Canterbury-Bankstown.[4]

In 1997, Nable joined Balmain and became a regular in the team over the next 3 seasons. Nable played in the club's final top grade game as a stand-alone entity which was against the Canberra Raiders at Bruce Stadium in Round 26 1999. Balmain lost the match 42-14.[5]

At the end of 1999, Balmain merged with fellow foundation club Western Suburbs to form the Wests Tigers. Nable was one of the Balmain players chosen to represent the new side. Nable played in the club's inaugural game which was against the Brisbane Broncos in Round 1 2000. The match ended in a 24-24 draw at Campbelltown Stadium.

At the end of the 2000 season, Nable was released by Wests and he joined North Queensland for the 2001 season. Nable made one appearance for North Queensland which came against Penrith in Round 4 2001 at Cazaly's Stadium.
