Career
Mirza played a number of games in the European Youth Cup for Paris Saint-Germain.[2]
He went on to sign a two-year contract for Yeovil Town from Paris Saint-Germain following his release on a free transfer on 22 July 2004.[3][4] Yeovil manager, Gary Johnson commented on the new signing saying; "Nicolas is a good athlete and a good footballer and he's got that French bit of class about him".[3] He made his debut for Yeovil Town against Bury in the 3–1 away defeat in the League Two match, replacing Lee Johnson as a substitute in the 80th minute.[5] Mirza made two more appearances for Yeovil in League Two and one in the Football League Trophy.[6] In October, he signed on loan for Conference National club Forest Green Rovers.[2] He was sent out on loan to Conference South side Weymouth in January 2005,[7] where Yeovil manager Gary Johnson's brother, Steve was manager.[7] Steve Johnson cancelled Mirza and Kezie Ibe's loan spell early in March stating; "They still had two weeks of their current loan spells left but I have sent them back because, although they are both good players, they weren't doing enough for me".[8] On his return to Yeovil, he was transfer listed.[9]
Mirza moved Pacy Vallée-d'Eure, before joining Paris FC in 2009.[1]
