Career
Nicholas made his debut for Notts County on 7 May 2011 in a 1–1 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion.

In September, he joined Lewes on loan, initially for a monthlong period.

In May 2012 he was released by Notts County, along with 12 other players.

Nicholas scored his first goal for Northwood with a 25-yard strike against Barton Rovers on 9 February 2013, and then scored his second on 9 March against Leighton Town. Injuries however limited him to only nine league appearances during his time at the Woods and his loan spell expired at the end of the 2012/13 season.

He signed on a permanent basis for Northwood in the summer of 2013. Having sustained an injury in September 2014, Nicholas returned to fitness in January 2015 playing a few more times.
