Sam Nicholson has left Bristol Rovers after two seasons at the Mem, with the winger returning to former club Colorado Rapids.
Nicholson’s contract has expired and there was hope the Scot would remain in north Bristol but the 27-year-old is heading back to MLS following 75 appearances in the blue and white quarters, scoring 14 goals with seven assists.
He had effectively leaked news of his departure last weekend after posting a farewell message from James Belshaw at the goalkeeper's wedding on his Instagram page, with Colorado then confirming the switch on Monday afternoon.
