Jake Charlie Nicholson (born 19 July 1992) is an English former footballer. He is a product of the West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur youth academies. He has also represented England at under-19 level.
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]
In the 2013-14 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.[9]
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.[10]
