Background
McNicholas was born in Sydney, Australia.
Playing career
McNicholas made his first grade debut for South Sydney in round 1 of the 1996 ARL season against Manly at Brookvale Oval. He played off the bench in Souths 44-6 loss. In the 1999 NRL season, McNicholas played 15 games for South Sydney including what was meant to be their final ever game when they played against Parramatta. Souths lost the match 34-16 and were ejected from the competition ahead of the 2000 NRL season due to not meeting the NRL's controversial criteria. For the 2000 season, McNicholas signed a contract to join Cronulla. In 2001, he played 20 games including Cronulla's preliminary final loss to Newcastle. When South Sydney were re-admitted back to the competition in 2002, McNicholas signed for the club and played in their first game since the readmission which was a 40-6 loss against arch-rivals the Sydney Roosters. In 2003, McNicholas joined North Queensland and featured in eight games. McNicholas spent the final two years of his career playing for Hull F.C. in the Super League.[2][3]
International honors
McNicholas won three caps for Ireland in 2005–2006 while at Hull.[4]
