Jake Charlie Nicholson (born 19 July 1992) is an English footballer who plays for Kingstonian. He is a product of the West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur youth academies. He has also represented England at under-19 level.

Career

Professional

Nicholson began his career with West Ham United, joining the club at the age of 10, but opted for a switch to Tottenham Hotspur in July 2009. After a year with the Under-18s, he was promoted to the first team ahead of the 2010-11 season.[1]

Prior to making an appearance for the senior side, Nicholson joined Finnish club MYPA on a two-month loan in March 2011.[2] The midfielder made his professional debut for Tottenham Hotspur on 25 August 2011, replacing Jake Livermore in a UEFA Europa League qualification play-off match against Hearts.[3] However, it would go on to be his only appearance for the club before his release in June 2013.[4]

Spending the first few months of the 2013-14 season without a club, Nicholson returned to football in a move brokered by his friend, actor Tamer Hassan. He completed a switch to Scottish club Greenock Morton on 23 November, where he remained for three months.[5]

Nicholson returned to English football on 19 February 2014, when he joined League Two side AFC Wimbledon after a successful trial.[6] Scoring on his debut in a 4-3 win against Cheltenham Town, the club were then deducted the three points after fielding Nicholson as an ineligible player.[7] Nicholson later signed a new long term deal with the club in May 2014.[8] However, his contract was mutually terminated with the Dons in January 2015.

Semi-Professional

Failing to join a club during the winter transfer window, he signed for St Albans City in late February and agreed to play for free due to the club's financial difficulties. Due to the distance of travel, with Nicholson living in Surrey, he managed just three games for the Saints before his departure.[9]

After spending pre-season with Football League club Swindon Town on trial,[10] he joined Hayes & Yeading United ahead of the 2015/16 season, where he found the net once in 10 appearances.[11]

Nicholson then joined Isthmian League Division One South side Walton Casuals in November 2015.[12] He made his debut on 7 October 2015, in a 5-2 cup defeat to local rivals Walton & Hersham.[13] He scored his first goal for the club on his 25th appearance, netting a 90th minute free-kick from 25 yards in a 5-3 over Sittingbourne.[14]

On 18 May 2016, Kingstonian announced Nicholson as their first signing of the 2016-17 season.[15]

International

Nicholson made a single appearance for the England Under-19 national team. He replaced George Thorne in the 74th minute in a 1-0 defeat to Germany on 8 February 2011.[16]
