Career
Nicholls began his career at Leeds United, turning professional in 1991. The majority of his time at the club was spent on the treatment table and in January 1995, having not made a first team appearance for the team, he joined his hometown side Cardiff City on a non-contract basis. He made his debut in a 1-0 defeat to Blackpool and by the end of the season he had made twelve appearances, scoring twice, but was released at the end of the season and joined Merthyr Tydfil.
After spending one year at Merthyr, Nicholls moved into the Welsh Premier League with spells at Aberystwyth Town and Carmarthen Town. In November 2004, Nicholls took over as manager of Pontypridd Town where he spent two and a half years in charge before resigning in June 2007.[1]
