He served as a loyal member of Inter for six seasons, before leaving abroad. He visited Vålerenga on trial, [1] before joining FC Thun in Swiss Super League.

FC Thun

Thun was relegated after scandalous [2] season 2007–2008 and Nyman stated that he wants to leave. He was on trial with VfB Stuttgart, but didn't get an offer.

Back to Turku

It was rumoured for a long time, that unhappy Nyman was moving back to Inter Turku because of Thun's financial problems. Finally in April 2009, Inter announced that Nyman had signed for three years. He was labeled the successor to Dominic Chatto as a controlling midfielder. [3]

Nyman decided to retire, after the 2018 season. [4] During his career, he made 406 appearances in Veikkausliiga, making him the third-most capped player in Finnish top tier, behind Toni Huttunen and Mikko Hauhia.
