In 2007 Nieto returned to Argentina to play for Huracán, in 2008 he joined Banfield and in January 2009 he was loaned back to Huracán where he was a member of the squad that finished in 2nd place in the Clausura 2009 tournament.

In 2009, he joined Colón de Santa Fe where he started well with four goals in his first six games with the club.

Since 2010 he has been playing in Atlético Paranaense where, after a not so good 2010 season, he became one of the most important players of the team in 2011, scoring seven goals at a total of seven games played.
