On 1 February 2016, Nichols joined League One side Peterborough United on a four-and-a-half-year contract for an undisclosed fee,[54] later revealed be £352,000 including fees and add-ons.[55][56] Nichols described the move as a 'no-brainer really' due to Peterborough United's record of developing younger players.[57] He made his debut on 6 February 2016 and scored the winner with a close range shot in a 1–0 victory away to Chesterfield.[58] He appeared in six further matches without scoring in the 2015–16 season for Peterborough.[50] Nichols made his first appearance of the 2016–17 season as a 74th-minute substitute in a 3–2 victory away to Rochdale.[59] He scored his first goals of the season in his following match with Peterborough's first and third goals of a 3–2 EFL Cup win over AFC Wimbledon after coming on as a substitute.[60] He scored his first league goal of the season in the 68th-minute of a 5–1 win at home to Millwall, having already provided three assists in that match.[61] Nichols scored for Peterborough United in a 4–1 defeat to Chelsea in the FA Cup third round on 8 January 2017,[62][4] which he later described as a "career highlight".[63] In April he suffered a medial ligament tear injury and missed the rest of the season.[64] He scored 13 goals in 51 matches for Peterborough over the course of the 2016–17 season.[59]
Bristol Rovers
On 17 July 2017, Nichols joined League One side
Nichols scored his first league goal of the 2019–20 season in a 3–1 home win against Oxford United.[78] The striker was later on the scoresheet in an EFL Cup home tie against Brighton & Hove Albion in August,[79] as well as an EFL Trophy match against Plymouth Argyle in September 2019.[80] In early January 2020, he was told by new manager Ben Garner that he was free to leave the club,[81] and subsequently signed for Cheltenham Town on a six-month loan deal on 31 January 2020.[82] He made his debut for Cheltenham as a substitute in a 2–1 win at home to Morecambe on 1 February 2020.[83][84] He scored 4 goals in 28 appearances for Bristol Rovers across the 2019–20 season, whilst he made 7 appearances for Cheltenham as they finished 4th on points per game after the season was ended early due to the COVID-19 pandemic and qualified for the play-offs,[83][85] where they were eliminated by Northampton Town in the semi-final.[86] At the end of the 2019–20 season, Nichols was released by Bristol Rovers.[87][88] In an interview with Bristol Post in December 2020, Nichols stated that his time at Bristol Rovers "didn't go to plan", but that he does "look back with fondness".[89]
Crawley Town
Following a trial spell with Swindon Town,[90] on 7 September 2020, Nichols joined League Two club Crawley Town on a one-year deal,[91] reuniting him with former Exeter assistant John Yems.[63] He made his debut for Crawley as a substitute in a 2–0 away defeat to Port Vale on 12 September,[92] and scored his first goal of the season the following match as Crawley defeated Scunthorpe United 1–0.[93] On 8 November 2020, he scored a hat-trick as Crawley progressed to the second round of the FA Cup after defeating Torquay United 6–5 after extra time.[94] Nichols scored a brace for Crawley in a 2–1 win away to second-placed Forest Green Rovers,[95] attracting praise from manager Yems who said that "he [Nichols] is full of heart and determination."[96] Having missed Crawley's FA Cup second round victory over AFC Wimbledon through injury,[97] Nichols started the third round tie against Premier League side Leeds United and provided the assist for Crawley's second goal as they won 3–0 on 10 January 2021.[98] Despite scoring for Crawley in the following round's tie away to AFC Bournemouth on 26 January, Crawley were eliminated from the FA Cup following a 2–1 defeat.[99] He won the League Two Goal of the Month award for March 2021 for his goal against Tranmere Rovers on 6 March after receiving 43% of the public vote, with the goal described as a "delightful team goal".[100][101] On 20 April 2021, he was shown a straight red card after elbowing Newport County defender Liam Shephard in the head in the 89th-minute of a 2–0 defeat.[102] Having scored 15 goals in 46 appearances,[103] Nichols was awarded Crawley Town's Player of the Year for the 2020–21 campaign.[104] The club took up their option to extend Nichols' contract by a year.[105]
Nichols made his first appearance of the 2021–22 season on 4 September 2021 in a 1–0 defeat to Bristol Rovers, and signed a new two-year contract with the option of a further year that day.[106] The following match saw Nichols net his first goal for six months, "drilling the ball in" for the opening goal of a 2–1 home victory over Carlisle United.[107][108] Across the 2021–22 season, he scored 10 goals in 39 league matches.[108] After appearing 23 times and scoring 4 goals during the 2022–23 season,[109] Nichols was left out of the matchday squad on two consecutive occasions in December 2022, leading to rumours he was to be involved in a transfer away from the club.[110] Nichols later stated in an interview that " I got told that [Crawley] had accepted an offer for me from another club and I couldn't play any more", adding that "at the time I was not asking to leave at all".[111]

On 28 December 2022, it was announced that Nichols had signed for League Two's bottom club Gillingham for an undisclosed fee, officially joining the club on 1 January 2023.[112][113] The fee was rumoured to be around £60,000.[111] He made his debut against Hartlepool United on 14 January and scored Gillingham's first goal and assisted the second in a 2–0 victory.[114]
