Former Colorado Rapids winger Sam Nicholson, who surprisingly left the club earlier this season after terminating his contract with the MLS club, has found a new home in England as he returns to the old continent to play.

Nicholson, who scored 6 goals and chipped in with 5 assists in 68 games during his spell in the United States, returns to his home island to play for the League One’s Bristol Rovers.

The former Scottish youth international signed with Minnesota United in 2017 after leaving the Premiership’s Heart of Midlothian when his contract expired.

Nicholson spent under a year with Minnesota United before being traded to Colorado, where he was a regular starter for the team down the stretch in 2018 and then throughout the 2019 season.

He left the club earlier this year after expressing a desire to return to the United Kingdom, agreeing to terminate his contract with Colorado back in February.

Nicholson will have the opportunity to do so with his new club as he helps to look them make a push to England’s second tier of soccer in the 2020-21 season. His deal will keep him with the Pirates through the end of the 2021-22 season.

Colorado Rapids and Sam Nicholson are parting ways. According to the team’s official announcement, the two sides agreed to mutually terminate Nicholson’s contract.

Nicholson joined Rapids in 2018 in a trade with Minnesota United. Since then, the Scottish winger played 50 games with the team in all competitions, contributing with four goals and six assists. 

The news comes as a surprise, considering that Nicholson was a regular starter for Rapids in the past.

“This was a difficult decision for all parties involved, but ultimately the right one for Sam and his family’s well-being,” said Colorado general manager Padraig Smith in a statement for club’s official website. “Since arriving two years ago, Sam has played a crucial role in driving the club forward toward our goals, and we’re grateful to him for his contributions on and off the pitch. He will always be a part of the Rapids family, and we wish him nothing but the best in the future.”

Sam Nicholson started his career in his native Scotland, making professional debut with Heart of Midlothian in 2013. After five seasons with Hearts, Nicholson joined Minnesota midway through the 2017 MLS season.

Nicholson ended up playing only 20 games with the Loons before being traded to Colorado in exchange for defender Eric Miller and $50K of General Allocation Money.
