Nigel packed up and moved from his home town Alice Springs to live and work in Adelaide whilst playing for NAFC.
On the 25th February 2022 he officially signed up with NAFC, below is a write up posted on the NAFC Facebook.

Name: Nigel Lockyer
Age: 24
Height: 186cm
Weight: 82kg

Nigel Lockyer joins the Roosters from Rovers in the Central Australian Football League where last season he won the league Minahan Medal for best player in the competition.

He represented North Adelaide in 2021, where he played 5 reserves games, kicking 15 goals as part of our relationship with the Redtails Pinktails Right Tracks Program in Central Australia. 
Nigel will become the first player from the Right Track’s Program to move down to North Adelaide full time which is exciting for everyone involved in the partnership.

Nigel is an athletic forward who can hit the scoreboard in many ways. He has good speed and is strong aerially for his size. We look forward to him adding a different look to our existing forward structure in the upcoming season.

Nigel has also recently played for St Marys in the NTFL and was coached by our very own Darren Reeves in the NT Thunder Program at NEAFL level.

“Nigel is an extremely talented footballer. He played a few reserves games for us last season and performed very well. 
He is part of the Redtails Program in Alice Springs and has decided to make the move to Adelaide full time to play with the Roosters. 
An outstanding young man who will excite the Prospect crowd with his athleticism and flair.
We are thrilled to have Nigel down in Adelaide full time and we are excited to watch what he can do on a week to week basis.” Senior Coach Jacob Surjan

We would like to welcome Nigel and his family to North Adelaide and we look forward to watching him represent the Roosters in season 2022.
