He has previously played for Partick Thistle, Raith Rovers, Dunfermline Athletic and Hibernian, as well as East Stirlingshire, Ayr United and Dumbarton on loan.
[7] Nisbet joined Scottish League Two side East Stirlingshire on loan in February 2015,[8] making 11 appearances and scoring six goals in his time at Ochilview Park.
He returned to Partick Thistle and made his first-team debut for the club on 19 September 2015 as a substitute in a 1–0 defeat away to Ross County in the Scottish Premiership.
[16] 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.
After attracting interest from several clubs,[19] Nisbet signed a four-year contract with Scottish Premiership side Hibernian on 10 July 2020 for an undisclosed fee.
[28] Hibs accepted an offer of around £2 million from EFL Championship club Millwall during the January 2023 transfer window, but Nisbet decided against the proposed move.
[39] After two years out of the squad, partly due to a long-term knee injury, Nisbet was recalled for the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying matches in June 2023.
