The versatile star will finish the current SEABL season with the Bandits before the commencement of the British Basketball League season in October.
Nicholas will re-connect with Bandits championship teammate Cory Dixon, who first joined the Raiders in December 2015.
The Raiders have a strong recent history of signing SEABL and NBL players.
Nicholas’ signing was announced at the same time as Melbourne Tigers’ point guard Rhys Carter, while fellow Tiger Daryl Corletto is playing coach.
“The thing that stands out about Donte is the way he competes on every possession,” Corletto told the Raiders’ website.
“He prides himself on the defensive end and brings a lot of energy to the team.
“He’s going to make us a really hard nosed, competitive team this year.”
