Nott started all five games for the England under-20 team that hosted the 2016 World Rugby Under 20 Championship including the victory against Ireland in the final.[4]

He came through the academy at Sale and made his professional club debut in a European Rugby Champions Cup defeat away to Munster on 25 January 2015.[5] Nott made his Premiership debut in February 2017 against the Newcastle Falcons[6] and made a total of 36 senior appearances for the Sharks.[7]

He left the club to join the United Rugby Championship's Dragons ahead of the 2022–23 season.[8] As at Sale, he made his debut against Munster, this time finishing on the winning side as the Dragons won their first home game for 17 months in a 23-17 win.[9]
