In a bizarre twist of events, Nikolić was invited to a trial at Vojvodina, due to the club's new policy to focus on youth players from its own academy.
He made his debut for Vojvodina on 13 April 2014, under manager Branko Babić, in a 1–0 home loss against Rad.
In early July 2015, Nikolić signed with OFK Bačka on a free transfer.
In March 2018, Nikolić signed a contract with Bosnian Premier League club Krupa.
[3] Nikolić got relegated with Krupa back to the First League of RS in the 2018–19 season, but got promoted back to the Bosnian Premier League in the next season, though after the season was ended abruptly due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Bosnia and Herzegovina, after which, by default, Krupa were crowned league champions and got promoted.
