"Nick" as he likes to be called, joined Dunfermline from the Hearts Boys club and made his debut in a late subsitutes appearance against Hearts. He also became the Pars youngest ever player to start an SPL game at 17 years, 5 months and 28 days old in an away game against Falkirk. In March 2008 Phinn signed a contract extension to keep him with the club untill 2010.
He's seen as Dunfermline's hard working energetic midfielder Nick(y) Phinn covers every blade of grass on the pitch, some tremendous goal line clearances and he'll chip in with a few goals, he isn't afraid to get stuck in either and is a nightmare to play against.
