FC Thun

Nyman was signed by FC Thun for almost one million euros in 2007. He immediately broke into the Thun side and played regularly in the first team.

Thun was relegated after scandalous[2] season 2007-2008 and Nyman stated that he wants to leave. He was on trial with VfB Stuttgart, but didn't get an offer.

It was rumoured for a long time, that unhappy Nyman was moving back to Inter Turku because of Thun's financial problems. Finally in April 2009, Inter announced that Nyman had signed for three years. He was labeled the successor to Dominic Chatto as a controlling midfielder.[3]
