On May 14, 2019, it was announced that Nieto would join USL Championship side Indy Eleven on an academy contract.[1] The academy contract would keep Nieto college eligible for 2020, where he has committed to playing college soccer at Indiana University.[2]

He made his professional debut on June 26, 2019, appearing as an injury-time substitute during a 3–0 win over Birmingham Legion.[3]

After three seasons at the University of Indiana, Nieto transferred to the IUPUI Jaguars in January 2023.[4]
