Wanderers confirmed the signing of the former Histon attacking midfielder just prior to the kick-off of the friendly v QPR on Friday 22nd July 2016. The 20 year old joined on an one year deal after impressing in the friendlies with Le Havre and Brentford. Freeman made his Histon debut as a teenager during the 2012/13 season and went on to score 26 goals in all competitions during 126 appreances. During his time with Histon he also had brief trials with Norwich City and West Ham United. He ended the 2015/16 season with short spells at Hemel Hempstead Town and Biggleswade Town. Commenting on the signing, Manager Gareth Ainsworth said: "Nick has taken his chance with both hands and I’ve been really impressed with the way he’s worked hard, settled in quickly with the lads and shown what he can do on the pitch. His attitude has been second-to-none and he has a real hunger to make it as a professional footballer. He’s far from the finished product but I’m looking forward to working with him and helping to develop his talent to see how far he can go in the game." After making his senior debut for Wanderers and scoring his first goal (in a Football League Trophy tie with West Ham), Freeman was loaned out to National League South side Wealdstone on 2nd December 2016 on a month long deal - making 5 appearances before his return to Adams Park. Following more regular spells in the First Team for the remainder of the 2016/17 season and the following two seasons, in September 2019 Freeman signed a new three-year with Wycombe, running until June 2022. Commenting on the deal, Wycombe Manager Gareth Ainsworth said: "Nick has come on leaps and bounds since turning professional with us in 2016. He’s worked so hard on his game to develop and become a really important player for us. Coming from non-league, he’s had to be patient for his opportunities sometimes, but he’s always got his head down and given 100 per-cent every day. He deserves this new contract because I see him playing a big part this season and in years to come. He’s got that ability to change a game in a heartbeat and he’s another exciting option in our attack who is popular with the fans and his teammates too." After failing to hold down regular place in the Wycombe team during the Championship season of 2020/21, Freeman was loaned out to League Two side Leyton Orient on 18th January 2021 for the remainder of the campaign. He would go onto make 11 appearances for The O's. On August 2021 in a League One match with Lincoln City at Adams Park, Freeman was forced off injured with what was later revealed as cruciate knee ligament injury. On 14th October 2021 the Club announced they had given the player an extra year on his contract in order to aid his recovery. Commenting on the news, Freeman said: "It’s a little bit bittersweet. I’m gutted that I'm not playing and that I'm injured long term, but I’m also very happy to be able to get a one-year extension. I’m so grateful to [the owners] Rob, Pete and [Manager] Gareth, and I feel fortunate that they've been kind enough to do that for me." External links: Soccerbase Wikipedia |
