Career

Born in Stroud, Gloucestershire, Nelson started his career at Cheltenham youth club FC Battledown.[1] He also played for the Cirencester College Football Academy team, Millwall and Cirencester Town.[2][1] County Cup success led to him being spotted by Northern Premier League side Hucknall Town after a spell with Doncaster Rovers.

Brentford

Nelson joined Brentford from Hucknall in February 2004 for a fee of £10,000. He was sent off on his debut against Brighton & Hove Albion.[3] He completed his first full season with Brentford in 2004–05, maintaining 21 clean sheets and helping the team into the promotion play-offs.[4] He signed a new two-year contract in August 2005.[5]

Nelson was appointed club captain for the 2006–07 season and scored the decisive penalty in a League Cup first round shootout win over Swindon Town.[6] However, a ligament injury picked up in October meant that he was unable to play again until 2007.[7] He returned and played 6 games towards the end of the season.[8] He was released by Brentford on 16 May 2007.[9]

Leyton Orient

Nelson signed for Leyton Orient in summer 2007, but left less than a year later by mutual consent due to relocating issues. On 1 August 2008, Norwich City confirmed the signing of Nelson after he impressed Glenn Roeder while on trial at Carrow Road.[10] He was released at the end of his one-year contract the following summer having made no first team appearances.

Aberdeen

On 27 July 2009, Nelson signed a one-year contract with Scottish Premier League team Aberdeen.[11] In May 2010 Nelson turned down an offer of a new contract.

Notts County

On 23 June 2010, Nelson signed a two-year contract with League One team Notts County.[12] Upon his signing for Notts County, he became the first choice goalkeeper; a position he retained in the 2011–12 season.

He received the club's player of the year award for the 2013–14 season.[16] In May 2014, Nelson signed a new two-year contract,[17] and in June 2016 signed a further two-year contract with the club.[18] He was named Vice-Captain for the 2016–17 season. He made his 200th start for the team in December 2016.[19] On 5 December 2017, Nelson made his 223rd competitive appearance for Gillingham which took him to 3rd on all time appearances for a goalkeeper for the club.
