Sam Nicholson, born on 20 January 1995 (age 31), is a Scottish right winger with Motherwell, where he wears squad number 19. He is not a player who needs dressing up beyond the basics: a wide player with a decent first-team career behind him and a current market value of around £85,000, according to Transfermarkt.
His most productive league season came at Hearts in 2014–15, when he scored five goals in 29 appearances. That remains the clearest attacking return on his record, and it gives a fair sense of the type of player he has been – useful, experienced, but not someone whose game has been built around heavy scoring numbers.
At Motherwell in 2025–26, Nicholson has made 10 league appearances without scoring, along with one Scottish Cup outing. Across all competitions for the club, he has played 11 times and has yet to find the net.
Nicholson’s career is that of an established Scottish wide player, shaped by a productive spell at Hearts and a current role at Motherwell. The recent figures are modest, but they sit within a career of regular senior football rather than promise still waiting to be tested.
