Early career
Born and raised in Auckland, Karpik attended King's College in Otahuhu from 2009-2013 and was captain of the 1st XV. After graduating from high school, he played his club rugby in the Auckland region and played for the Blues under-20 and development sides.
Senior career
He received his first taste of provincial rugby with Auckland during the 2015 ITM Cup where he played a starring role in their run to the Premiership final. He played 11 of Auckland's 12 games during the campaign and scored 3 tries in what was to be his only season with them.
At the conclusion of the 2015 season, it was announced that Karpik would be joining the Bay of Plenty Steamers for 2016. Unfortunately for both parties, a knee injury sustained at the beginning of the year ruled him of the entire campaign which saw the Steamers eliminated at the semi-final stage after finishing 4th on the Championship log.
Super Rugby
His debut season at provincial level with Auckland was enough to convince the Hamilton-based Chiefs Super Rugby franchise to hand him a contract for the 2016 Super Rugby season. A knee injury picked up in pre-season match against the Waratahs saw him miss the entire campaign. Despite this, he was retained in the squad for 2017.
International
Karpik represented both New Zealand Schools and New Zealands Schools Barbarians while at King's College and was also a member of the New Zealand Under-20 side which won the 2015 World Rugby Under 20 Championship in Italy.
