In the summer of 2010, he went back to Denmark to play for FC Midtjylland.[6]

In January 2012, he went to play for Greve Fodbold in the Danish fourth tier. The club was at that time managed by his father Benny Nielsen.[7]

In January 2015, he was signed by Sligo Rovers ahead of the 2015 League of Ireland season.[8]

After leaving FC Roskilde in July 2019,[9] Nielsen joined Hvidovre IF. The club announced the signing on 25 August 2019, the same day as he got his official debut for the club.[10] He left the club by the end of the season.[11]
