Nick Ross (born 11 November 1991) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Sacramento Republic in the USL Championship. Ross has previously played for Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Dundee, Brora Rangers, El Paso Locomotive and the Scotland under-21 team. Club career Inverness CT Ross came through the youth ranks at Inverness Caledonian Thistle and ahead of the 2009–10 season, manager Terry Butcher stated Ross was among several youngsters selected for the first team squad. He made his debut for Inverness Caledonian Thistle in a match against Montrose, as Inverness won 5–3 on penalties, following a 1–1 draw in the first round of the Challenge Cup. His league debut came in a 0–0 draw against Ayr United on 15 August 2009. Ross then scored his first goal for the club against Greenock Morton, in a match Inverness won 1–0.
