He started off at Honiton Rugby Club and then moved to Sidmouth, where he was given great encouragement by the late Tug Wilson.
Wilson got Nathan into the county team and then encouraged him to play at the All Blacks in Launceston.
Subequently Hannay was offered signings by three clubs and Wilson advised him to go to Jersey, where he has settled.
