Ex-Peterborough United player signs for Peterborough Sports and FA Cup first qualifying round draw news

Nicholson made two substitute appearances for Posh in the second half of the 2015-16 League One season in Graham Westley’s days as manager at London Road.

Posh took a punt on a player they’d spotted playing for Histon, but he was soon his way to Nuneaton, Barnet, Darlington, Hereford and Boston United.

Nicholson played eight League Two matches for Barnet and appeared in the National North Division play-off final for Boston United last season.

Sports saw off competition from several clubs who play at a higher level including Boston to sign the 26 year-old.

Sports manager Jimmy Dean said: “I’m pleased to get Jordan. He had a lot of clubs chasing him including Boston so it’s a real feather in our cap to have signed him.

“He can play as a number 10, but he can play out wide as well. He well have to get used to the way we play, but it’s an excellent signing for us.”

Sports, who were drawn at home against Enfield Town in the FA Cup first qualifying first round, open their Southern League Central Premier Division programme with a home game at the Bee Arena against fellow promotion fancies Tamworth on Saturday (September 19, 3pm).

Fans are allowed into the game. The limit this Saturday is 565 supporters.

The FA Cup tie will take place at the Bee Arena on Tuesday, September 22 when Stamford AFC will host AFC Sudbury.

Enfield play at the same level as Sports.
