Nicole Alicia Aiken (born 11 December 1985) is a Jamaican netball player. Aiken started playing international representative netball as early as 2004,[1][2] although she made her senior debut in the Jamaican national team, the Sunshine Girls, at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.[3] In 2007, Aiken received a four-year scholarship to play basketball with Lamar University in Texas,[4] where she played center for the Cardinals.[5] However, in 2008 it was reported that Aiken had given up the scholarship and returned to her first college, G.C. Foster.[6]
Aiken currently plays netball for the Sunshine Girls at international level, and for Jamalco in the Berger Paints Senior League.
