After a single season Nieminen returned to his native land signing with his original club Tappara of the SM-liiga.
On June 16, 2010, Nieminen signed a one-year contract with Russian team, HC Sibir Novosibirsk, of the KHL.
On May 6, 2011, Nieminen signed a one-year deal to remain in Russia Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk.

Nieminen returned to Finland the following season, re-joining original club, Tappara on a two-year deal on May 2, 2012.
