Nicholas Jeremy "Nicky" Eaden (born 12 December 1972) is a retired English association football defender who most recently worked as first team coach for Rotherham United. He played 550 matches in the Football League.
Born in Sheffield, Eaden started his career at local Barnsley F.C., contributing to their promotion to the Premiership before joining Birmingham City. Eaden also had a successful spell with Wigan Athletic, winning promotion from the then Division Two and then into the Premiership. Whilst at Birmingham he played in the 2001 Football League Cup Final.
He joined Nottingham Forest in 2005. Despite being successful with most of his previous clubs, caretaker managers Frank Barlow and Ian McParland did not include him in the first matchday squad in the 2006–07 season after an indifferent debut season in the East Midlands, although he had been promoted with every club he had been at prior to joining Forest.
On 31 August 2006 he joined League Two side Lincoln City on loan, initially for a month, which was later extended to the maximum 93-day total. He then returned to Forest, but was again loaned to Lincoln in January 2007, this time for the rest of the season.
Released by Forest, Eaden signed for Halesowen Town of the Southern League, making just one appearance. In September 2007 Eaden signed for Solihull Moors of the Conference North; after only one appearance he left for fellow Conference North side Kettering Town, making his debut in the 1–1 draw at Nuneaton Borough on 20 October 2007.
