Career

Partick Thistle and loans

Nisbet played for Hibernian's under-15 team before joining the Partick Thistle youth system.[1] He joined Thistle as a full-time apprentice in summer 2014. Having quickly progressed through the Thistle Weir Academy, he made his breakthrough in the Firhill side's development squad. He made 18 appearances at that level during the 2014–15 campaign, and scored six goals, including a hat-trick against Falkirk.[2]

Nisbet joined Scottish League Two side East Stirlingshire on loan in February 2015,[3] making 11 appearances and scoring six goals in his time at Ochilview Park.

Nisbet returned to Thistle, and made his first-team debut for the club coming on as a substitute in a 1–0 defeat away to Ross County in the Scottish Premiership on 19 September 2015.[4][5]

Nisbet joined Ayr United on loan at the start of the 2016–17 season. This was a six-month deal until 14 January 2017.[6]

He joined Dumbarton on loan in January 2018.[7] Thistle were relegated to the Scottish Championship via the play-offs at the end of the 2017–18 season and following that relegation, Nisbet was one of many players released by the club.[1][8]

Raith and Dunfermline

Nisbet signed for Scottish League One side Raith Rovers in July 2018.[9] He finished the season at Raith Rovers with 35 goals in all competitions.

Nisbet then signed for local rivals Dunfermline Athletic in June 2019,[10] where he continued his goalscoring, scoring 20 goals in all competitions before the end of 2019.[11] During the January 2020 transfer window, a number of clubs - including his future employers Hibernian - were said to be interested in the player's signature, however, Dunfermline opted to reject all bids for Nisbet with the intention of keeping him until at least the summer.[12][13] Nisbet finished the curtailed 2019–20 season having scored 23 goals in 32 appearances.

Hibernian

After attracting interest from several clubs,[14] Nisbet signed a four-year contract with Scottish Premiership side Hibernian on 10 July 2020 for an undisclosed fee.[15][16]
