Rugby career
Nicholl first played rugby for Llandovery College, following his older brother Charles Nicholl. Unlike Charles, Nicholl did not go to university and settled in Llanelli as a bank cashier. Nicholl represented Llanelli at club level, and in 1894, he was selected for his one and only international cap for the Welsh national team. The match was played against Ireland as part of the 1894 Home Nations Championship, and Nicholl, along with Jack Elliott and Neath's Fred Hutchinson. Wales lost the game by a single penalty goal, the game having slowed due to a very boggy Belfast pitch.
