Club career[edit]

Ipswich Town[edit]

Nydam was born in Zimbabwe and moved to England with his family when he was only 10, growing up in Colchester.[4] He became a schoolboy player with Ipswich Town in 2008, before signing a two-year scholarship at Town in July 2016, and then went on to sign his first two-year professional contract in November 2016.[4] He went on to make his full senior debut in the 2–0 win over Luton Town in the first round of the League Cup on 8 August 2017.[5] In November 2017, Nydam signed a new contract with Ipswich until 2021, with the option of an additional year extension.[6] He made 20 appearances during his debut season for the Ipswich first-team.[7]

St Johnstone (loan)[edit]

On 28 August 2018, Nydam signed a loan deal through to January 2019 with Scottish Premiership side St Johnstone.[8] He made his debut for St Johnstone as a sub in a 2–1 away win over Hamilton Academical on 1 September. Nydam found his first team chances limited during his loan spell in Scotland, only making 5 appearances before being recalled in January following the end of his loan deal.[9]

Return to Ipswich Town[edit]

Nydam made 1 substitute appearance for the first-team during the 2018–19 season after returning from loan in January, coming on as a substitute in a 0–2 loss away at Brentford on 10 April 2019.[9]

In July 2019 he broke his ankle during a pre-season Friendly away at Notts County, ruling him out for 6 months.[10]

On 10 April 2021, two years to the day since his last competitive appearance, Nydam made his return from injury as a second-half substitute in a home match against Milton Keynes Dons.[11] On 10 May 2021, Ipswich announced that Nydam would be released following the end of his contract.[12]

Retirement[edit]

On 20 March 2022, Nydam announced his retirement from football at the age of 22.[13]
