Blake played for Otago in the ITM Cup.

He then was signed by Edinburgh for the 2014-15 season.

He was loaned out to Bay of Plenty for the 2016-17 season and has been named in their squad for the 2017 Mitre 10 Cup.
International career
Blake represented New Zealand Under 20 in the 2012 IRB Junior World Championship in South Africa.
Blake's Glaswegian grandparents moved to New Zealand in the 1950s and the flanker is thus eligible to represent Scotland.
He then represented Scotland at Sevens thus confirming his Scottish nationality.
On 20 January 2015, Blake was called up the senior Scotland squad for the 2015 Six Nations Championship, despite being yet to play a single game for Edinburgh at the time.
