Career
McNicholas began his career at Sligo Rovers, but was loaned out to fellow League of Ireland Premier Division side Finn Harps where he didn't make a single appearance, however, upon return he got his chance due to injury to Sligo Rovers keeper Edward McGinty.[1]
On 17 August 2021, he was loaned out to NIFL Premiership club Cliftonville.[2] During his time there, Cliftonville won the Northern Ireland Football League Cup and came runners up in the NIFL Premiership.[3]
On 11 August 2023, after establishing himself as Sligo Rovers' number 1, McNicholas would join newly promoted EFL League Two side Wrexham on a short-term loan, with the option for Wrexham to buy in January 2024.[4] He made his debut for the club on 10 October 2023, keeping a clean sheet in a 0–3 away win at Crewe Alexandra in the EFL Trophy.[5]
