Nizic was born in Sydney, New South Wales to Australian and Croatian parents.
He started his career with local side Sydney Football Club, before going on trial in 2012 with League One side Portsmouth. He spent a year with the side on trial but was unable to complete a permanent move to the club due to work permit issues. In July 2013, he signed for Championship side Burnley on a two-year contract after securing a work permit, also becoming fourth goalkeeper to sign for the club in the summer.
In January 2014, he joined Conference North side Workington on an initial one-month loan along with Kyle Brownhill.
After first choice keeper Ben Garratt had been sent off, Nizic came on as a 64th minute substitute and ten minutes later gave away a penalty from which Eastleigh scored the only goal of the game, leaving Crewe manager Steve Davis questioning Nizic"s "mentality".
