Tom Nichols
Born: August 28, 1993

Position: Forward
City debut: Sheffield Wednesday 1 City 2 (May 7, 2011)
Tom's Story: Another hot prospect from the City academy, Tom Nichols made his City debut away from home at Sheffield Wednesday as the Grecians picked up all three points. Tom would play sporadically over the next couple of seasons.
The 2014/15 campaign saw him score 15 goals in 39 first team appearances for the Grecians before continuing that good form into the next season. A good start, which included a goal against Liverpool in the FA Cup, saw to it that he would be picked up by Peterborough United in January 2016.
He played 51 times for Peterborough the following season in League One before he switched back to the west country to join Bristol Rovers.
