Nicholson who had been out for the best part of 18 months before Brown arrived has slotted into the new manager's team with an impressive scoring tally in his short time in midfield before being shifted to right back more recently.
The Scot is out of contract in the summer with a number of other players but Brown has said that he wants Nicholson to stay at the club next season hinting that a new deal will be offered once the season is over.
