Nicholson made his debut in senior football for Sheffield Wednesday when he came on from the subs bench against Blackburn Rovers in August 2000.

However, he failed to make the first team again and, in January, he joined Northampton Town on a non-contract basis.

He was immediately loaned to Forest Green Rovers where it was intended that he should remain until the end of the season, however injuries meant he was recalled to Sixfields after just one appearance for the Conference club.

He subsequently featured regularly for the Cobblers before signing a contract for Notts County shortly before the transfer deadline.

Nicholson opened his scoring account for the Magpies with a fine header in the 3-3 draw against Peterborough United and began to establish himself in the team in the closing weeks of the campaign.

A left wing back who is capable of making effective runs down the flank, he crosses the ball well and can deliver accurate set-piece kicks.

Nicholson's contract at Torquay United was extended to June 2010 in May 2009, to June 2012 in May 2010 and to June 2014 in December 2011.
