Calem Nieuwenhof, an Australian native, was born on 17 February 2001, currently aged 24. He bends it like a pro in the football field as a midfielder, with his primary position being a central defensive midfielder. His current employment is with Hearts, where he doffs the number 8 jersey. His physique is a handy match for the football pitch, standing at 5ft 11in (1.81m) and weighing in at 11st 6lb (73kg).
As of his current form, Transfermarkt values him roughly at £1m.
Nieuwenhof's stint at Sydney FC in the Australian A-League kicked off in July 2019. Within the span of the 2020-2021 season at Sydney FC, he broke into the first team, playing nine league matches and turning in one goal. In the ensuing 2021-2022 season at Sydney FC, his first team appearances were confined to a couple of league matches.
In July 2022, Nieuwenhof bid adieu to Sydney FC and embarked on a new journey with Western Sydney Wanderers, another club participating in the Australian A-League. His tenure with Western Sydney Wanderers in the 2022-2023 season was noteworthy; he played a substantial role in 26 first team appearances and netted four goals.
July 2023 saw Nieuwenhof once again packing his kit bag, this time for a substantial career move. He switched clubs and continents, moving from Western Sydney Wanderers to Hearts in the Scottish Premiership. The transfer fee for this move remains undisclosed. In the 2023-2024 season at Hearts, Nieuwenhof featured in 25 first team appearances and scored once. He continued his journey with Hearts, contributing a single goal in 12 first team appearances during the 2024-2025 season. However, the current season of 2025-2026 hasn't seen Nieuwenhof stepping onto the pitch for any first team league matches so far.
Apart from his league exploits, Nieuwenhof also made his mark in the League Cup 2025-2026, representing Hearts and featuring twice as a starter and on two further occasions as a substitute. Additionally, he participated in the Scottish Cup 2024-2025 for Hearts, where he netted one goal in two appearances off the bench.
