Yoell van Nieff (born 17 June 1993) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Indian Super League club Mumbai City. He formerly played on loan for FC Dordrecht and Excelsior and for Heracles Almelo. Besides the Netherlands, he has played in Hungary and India. [1]
Club career
Mumbai City FC
On 12 July 2023, Mumbai City FC announced that they had signed Yoell on a two year deal, following his release from Puskás Akadémia FC. [2] He made his debut for the club in the 2023 Durand Cup in the club's first match of the tournament, versus Mohammedan SC as a substitute. [3] In the club's next match vs Jamshedpur FC on 8 August 2023, he scored his first Mumbai City FC goal with a half-volley from a corner, the fourth goal in an eventual 5-0 victory for Mumbai. [4]
He made his ISL debut in the club's first match of the season, away versus NorthEast United FC on 24 September 2023. He played 68 minutes in midfield until he was replaced by another new signing, Tiri. [5] In the club's first home ISL match of the season versus Kerala Blasters, Yoell was shown a red card alongside Blasters player Miloš Drinčić for their part in a fight during injury time at the end of the match, which concluded in a 2-1 victory for Mumbai. [6]
On 12 March 2024, Van Nieff scored his first ISL goal. After Akash Mishra won a penalty in first-half stoppage time, Van Nieff stepped up and scored. This penalty was the third goal, in an eventual 4-1 win for The Islanders. [7] This match was exceptional for Van Nieff, as he also got an assist for the first goal of the game with a pinpoint aerial pass to Vikram Partap Singh. [8]
