Playing career

Nicholson began his career as a youth- and reserve-team player for Cambridge City, and made one brief substitute appearance for their Southern League team in April 2013 [3] before leaving the club at the end of the season. He spent 2013–14 scoring freely in Cambridgeshire County League football for Sawston United, [4] [5] before an equally successful, albeit injury-afflicted, 2014–15 season in the United Counties League with Eynesbury Rovers. [6] He joined Histon of the Southern League Premier Division in the summer of 2015, and scored 15 goals in the space of four months. [7] [8]

After a trial, Nicholson signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with League One club Peterborough United on 24 December 2015, at which point he gave up his former job as a carer. [8] He made his Football League debut on 20 February 2016, coming on as a half-time substitute for Harry Toffolo in a 3–0 defeat to Millwall at The Den. [9] [10]

He was loaned to National League North club Nuneaton Town on 4 August 2016 for the season, but was recalled in March 2017 because his parent club wanted to assess him. [11] Nicholson joined Nuneaton on loan again for the 2017–18 season. On 31 January 2018, he was recalled and joined League Two club Barnet permanently. [12] He returned to the National League North in March, on loan to Brackley Town for what remained of the season. [13] Nicholson was released by Barnet at the end of the season. [14]

Nicholson followed his former manager at Nuneaton, Tommy Wright, to another National North club, Darlington, in June 2018. [15] He finished the season as top scorer, with 11 goals from 43 appearances, and was then released by mutual consent. [16]

He signed for Hereford, also of the National League North, in June 2019. [17] In January 2020, Nicholson joined Buxton on loan. [18] On 13 March 2020, he joined Boston United on loan until the end of the season. [19] Following the curtailment of the season due to the coronavirus pandemic, Nicholson did not make his debut until 25 July 2020 in the playoff semi-final win against Gateshead. [20] His second and last appearance was in the final, which Boston lost to Altrincham. [21]

After Nicholson left Hereford, Boston had hoped to make his move permanent, but instead he signed for Southern League Premier Division Central club Peterborough Sports. [22] The 2020–21 season was curtailed with very few matches played, [23] and Nicholson became a first-team regular in 2021–22 before a broken leg put him out for four months. [24] [25] He returned to action with three matches left in the regular season, and was able to start both play-off matches as Peterborough Sports gained promotion to the National League North. [24] On 21 September 2022, 16 minutes after scoring what proved to be the only goal of an FA Cup replay, Nicholson broke the same leg. [26]
