Sam Nicholson, born on 20 January 1995 (age 31), is a Scottish right-sided winger with Motherwell. He wears squad number 19 and is valued at around £85,000 by Transfermarkt.
His most productive league campaign came early, at Hearts in 2014–15, when he scored five goals in 29 appearances. That remains the clearest statistical marker of his attacking output, and it came at a stage when he was still establishing himself as a first-team player rather than padding out a long career.
At Motherwell in 2025–26, Nicholson has made 10 league appearances without scoring, plus one outing in the Scottish Cup. His total for the season stands at 11 appearances and no goals across all competitions.
Nicholson’s career has been built around wide attacking roles, with his strongest league return coming at Hearts and his later work continuing at Motherwell. He is an experienced Scottish Premiership-level player rather than a headline act, which is no bad thing if the job is done properly.
