Sivert Heltne Nilsen is a Norwegian central defensive midfielder, born on 2 October 1991 (age 34), now with Haugesund. He is an experienced domestic campaigner rather than a player in need of much decoding: steady positionally, used to responsibility, and generally operating in the less glamorous part of the pitch.
His most productive league season came at Brann in 2023, when he scored nine goals in 29 appearances. That return stands out for a player whose main work has usually been about screening, organising and giving a side a firmer base.
He is currently valued at around Β£213,000 by Transfermarkt. At this stage of his career, Nilsen profiles as an established Norwegian midfielder with a solid top-flight background and a notable scoring spike during his Brann spell.
