Sivert Heltne Nilsen is a Norwegian central defensive midfielder, born on 2 October 1991 (age 34), and now with Haugesund. His role has generally been the practical one at the base of midfield, where the work is often noticed most when it is missing.
His most productive league season came with Brann in 2023, when he scored nine goals in 29 appearances. For a player primarily used in a defensive midfield role, that was a substantial return rather than a routine bonus.
At Haugesund, Nilsen is an experienced Norwegian midfielder with a current market value of around Β£213,000, according to Transfermarkt. His career, as it stands, is shaped by solid domestic service, with that 2023 Brann season standing out as the clearest attacking spike.
