Nicholas Jack Wilmer Anderton (born 22 April 1996) is an English coach and former professional footballer who played as a left back.

[18] On 30 October 2021, Anderton opened his account for the club when he scored the only goal as Rovers got an impressive away win at high-flying Harrogate Town with his scuffed effort in the 64th minute settling the match.

[19] Anderton played an important role as he achieved a first career promotion with Rovers' 7–0 victory over Scunthorpe United on the final day of the season seeing them move into third position on goals scored.

[20] On 28 July 2022, it was announced that Anderton had been diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer, requiring him to undergo an operation on his femur.

[28] In order to raise funds for the player, Bristol Rovers started several local initiatives,[29] while manager Barton, as well as the rest of the playing and coaching staff, decided to shave their heads on 16 January 2023, showing support for Anderton and encouraging the club's supporters to do the same, in order to raise awareness of the subject.
