[edit] Playing career
Born in Sheffield in South Yorkshire, Eaden started his career at local Barnsley F.C., contributing to their shock promotion to the Premiership before joining Birmingham City. Eaden also had a successful spell with Wigan Athletic, winning promotion from the then Division Two and then into the Premiership.
Despite being successful with most of his previous clubs, he was not a favourite with Forest fans and caretaker managers Frank Barlow and Ian McParland did not include Nicky Eaden in the first matchday squad in the 2006–07 season after an indifferent debut season in the East Midlands, although he had been promoted with every club he had been at prior to joining Forest.
On August 31, 2006 he joined League Two side Lincoln City on loan, initially for a month,[1][2] which was later extended to the maximum 93-day total.[3] He then returned to Forest, but was again loaned to Lincoln in January 2007, this time for the rest of the season.[4]
Released by Forest, Eaden signed for Halesowen Town of the Southern League, making just one appearance.[5] In September 2007 Eaden signed for Solihull Moors of the Conference North;[6] after only one appearance he left Solihull and signed for fellow Conference North side Kettering Town, making his debut in the 1–1 draw at Nuneaton Borough on October 20, 2007.[7]
