Hicks, dubbed "The Cream of Devon," reached the semi-finals of both the World Snooker Championship and the UK Championship in 1995 and the same level in four other ranking competitions. He was a Masters semi-finalist in 1996, and he was ranked among the world's top 32 players from 1995 to 2000, and again from 2005 to 2007, before being demoted from the main circuit in 2013. In 2019, he reclaimed his two-year tour card.
