Calem Nieuwenhof

Calem Nieuwenhof of Heart of Midlothian was born on 17 February 2001 (age 24).

Born on 17th February 2001 in Australia, Calem Nieuwenhof, at a solid 5ft 11in (1.81m) tall and tipping the scales at 11st 6lb (73kg), holds his own as a central defensive midfielder for Hearts in Scotland. The youngster currently holds the number 8 jersey, a testament to his increasing impact in the Hearts squad.

According to Transfermarkt, Nieuwenhof is currently valued at around £1m. Of crucial importance for Hearts, his contract stands firm for another 2 years and 3 months, destined to be up for discussion again only by the end of May 2027.

In the early days of his embryonic yet promising career, Nieuwenhof was signed by Sydney FC in the A-League in Australia back in July 2019. In his debut season (2020 - 2021), he made nine first team appearances and found the back of the net once. However, his playing time saw a curtailed stint when he managed to secure only two appearances in the following season (2021 - 2022).

The season of 2022 brought about changes for young Nieuwenhof. He was transferred to Western Sydney Wanderers, staying within the confines of the Australian A-League. He enjoyed a prolific season (2022 - 2023), delivering 26 first team appearances and scoring on four separate occasions.

By July 2023, far removed from the warm shores of Australia, Nieuwenhof found a new home within the cold expanse of the Premiership in Scotland, more precisely, with Hearts. The transfer fee remains undisclosed. During his debut season (2023 - 2024) with the Scottish club, he graced the field 25 times and scored a single goal. So far, in the current season (2024 - 2025), he has already made six first team appearances and notched up another goal.

A noteworthy addition to his accomplishments with the Scottish club is his contribution in the Scottish Cup 2024 - 2025 for Hearts, where he netted a goal during two appearances as a substitute.
