Calem Nieuwenhof, born on 17 February 2001 and now at the ripe sporting age of 23, hails from Australia. Known chiefly as a central defensive midfielder, he now struts his stuff on the field for Scots' team Hearts. Nieuwenhof, tipping the scales at 73kg - which translates to a tidy and athletic 11 stone 6 pounds - stands at a respectable 5ft 11in (1.81m). With an air of authority, he dons the number 8 jersey.
His value on the market, as asserted by reliable sports database, Transfermarkt, is currently estimated to be about €1.00m - that's around £850,000 for the sterling-minded among us. His term with Hearts is set to continue for another 2 years 9 months, with the sands of the contract hourglass set to run out by 31 May 2027.
Backtracking to Nieuwenhof's debut season of 2020 - 2021 at Sydney FC in Australia, he made a solid nine first team appearances and modestly lodged one goal. In the following season of 2021 - 2022, he made two first team appearances for Sydney FC.
Further impressing in the 2022 - 2023 season, Nieuwenhof, playing for Western Sydney Wanderers in Australia, made a career-high 26 first team appearances and netted four goals.
After moving to the colder climes of Scotland, in the 2023 - 2024 season with Hearts, Nieuwenhof made a dependable 25 first team appearances and scored a goal. However, in the current 2024 - 2025 season with Hearts, he is yet to make a first team appearance.
Not just a league man, Nieuwenhof has also dabbled in the heat of contested silverware. In the Scottish Cup of 2023 - 2024 for Hearts, he participated once and came away with a goal to his name.
