Nicky Cleșcenco, a forward primarily playing as a left winger for Kilmarnock, was born on the 23rd of July in 2001 in the Republic of Ireland. Now 24 years of age, Cleșcenco stands modestly at 5ft 9in tall (1.77m) and weighs around 10st 7lb (67kg). The number 20 jersey marks his on-field presence. Besides club duties, he has appeared on the international scene representing the Moldova national team.
Currently, his market value is perceived to be approximately €150k, which roughly converts to £128k, according to the information provided by Transfermarkt.
In terms of career trajectory, Cleșcenco joined União Leiria in the Liga Portugal 2 in Portugal in July 2017. His voyage saw him sailing to different clubs and countries, manifesting in a February 2021 move from União Leiria to Sion in the Swiss Super League. After spending nearly two years in Switzerland, he transferred to Petrocub Hincesti in the Divizia Naţională in Moldova for an undisclosed fee in January 2023.
His stay at Petrocub Hincesti was short-lived, as only a single year later, in February 2025, he moved to another Divizia Naţională club in Moldova, Zimbru Chişinău. It was a year later, in January 2026, when Cleșcenco found himself transferring to Kilmarnock in the Premiership in Scotland, again, for an undisclosed fee. Having made the move to the Scottish league, Cleșcenco has piqued the interest of many local fans who will be keen to monitor his performances.
