Nelson impressed manager Jon Brady sufficiently to earn himself a short-term deal and become Town's ninth summer signing and second defensive reinforcement behind Jon Guthrie.

The 6ft, 1in centre-back joined Millwall's academy at the age of eight and captained the club's youth team before making his senior debut 10 years later.

He made 38 appearances for the Lions and also spent time on loan with Newport County, Yeovil Town, Chesterfield, Swindon Town and Tranmere, playing a combined total of 77 games across those loan spells.

Nelson returned to Prenton Park in June 2019 and made 39 appearances over the last two seasons.
