Andrew Peter Nicholas (born 10 October 1983 in Liverpool) is an English footballer currently playing for Barrow AFC. Nicholas plays as a left full back.
Nicholas began his career at Liverpool, where he was timed as being faster than England international Michael Owen. He was also a youth captain. However, he was released in the summer of 2003 but swiftly snapped up by Swindon Town manager Andy King on a one year contract.[1]
Nicholas did not appear in the Swindon first team until October but soon found himself a regular as the Robins earned a place in the Division Two play-offs only to lose narrowly to Brighton & Hove Albion in the semi-finals. During the season a two-year extension to his Swindon contract was offered which he accepted. Injuries and lack of form kept Nicholas out of the team in his next season and spent a month out on loan to Chester City before returning for the remaining fixtures of Swindon's season.[1]
Nicholas found himself out of the squad at the start of the 2005/06 season, not helped by a poor showing against Oldham Athletic, but Swindon suffered a horrendous run of form which saw King sacked and Iffy Onuora take over as Swindon manager. Nicholas found himself back in the starting line-up for the remainder of the season. Nicholas was offered a one-year contract by Onuora at the end of the season but before agreeing terms,[1] Onuora was dismissed as manager and was swiftly replaced by Dennis Wise. Wise felt it was unfair to withdraw the offer[citation needed] and Nicholas signed up for the 2006/07 League Two campaign becoming Swindon's longest serving player in the process.[1]
Nicholas was released by new manager Maurice Malpas at the end of the 2007–08 season, ending his five-year career with Swindon with 6 goals from 141 games in all competitions. He then signed for Rotherham United[1] at the end of August 2008. He spent two seasons in the club, including a loan spell at Mansfield Town. After leaving Rotherham he signed for Barrow AFC of the Football Conference where he has been out of favour and been placed on the transfer-list.
