[edit] Biography
Nicholson began his career as a trainee with Sheffield Wednesday, turning professional in August 1998. His first team debut came on August 28, 2000 when he replaced Andy Hinchcliffe as a first-half substitute in Wednesday's 1-1 draw at home to Blackburn Rovers.[1] However, this was his only first team appearance for Wednesday as he was allowed to join Forest Green Rovers on loan in in January 2001, before moving to Northampton Town on a free transfer the following month.
In March 2001, Nicholson joined Notts County on a free transfer,[2] and soon became a regular in the County side. He joined Scarborough on loan in March 2004,[3] scoring on his debut[4] and moved to Scarborough on a free transfer at the end of the season.[5] He was a regular in Scarborough's Conference National side for the next two seasons, but left in May 2006 to join Forest Green Rovers[6] after Scarborough's relegation to the Conference North amid financial problems that would see the club dissolved a year later.[7]
His form with Forest Green earned Nicholson a call-up to the England C squad for the Home Internationals, and suggestions of a move back to the football league with Barnet, managed by England C boss Paul Fairclough.[8] However, Nicholson joined Torquay United on a free transfer on June 20, 2007.[9]
