Niko Sigur
Niko Kristian Sigur (born September 9, 2003) is a Canadian professional soccer player who plays as a defensive midfielder or right-back for HNL club Hajduk Split and the Canada national team.
Sigur was born in Burnaby, British Columbia, and first began playing soccer with Mountain United FC in Burnaby, in which he won the 2016 BC provincial championship and the 2018 BCSPL League Cup title. He was then selected to play for the Whitecaps FC Academy, winning the USSDA Northwest Division championship in 2018. He attended at Notre Dame Regional Secondary School at the high school level, where he won the 2019 BC AA provincial championship.
Sigur played one year of university soccer at York University in 2021. During his university career, he started in 10 of 11 matches, scoring two goals and registering one assist. He was named York's athlete of the week in November for his semifinal play-off performance, which saw him score the winning goal against Ryerson in the 119th minute and recording an assist in the same game. York would later finish with a silver medal the OUA championship during his only season.
Sigur played for Vaughan Azzurri's "C" team in 2021, making two appearances for the club. Sigur moved to Slovenia in early 2022, joining Radomlje youth team.
In 2022, Sigur transferred to Hajduk Split in Croatia to play for their academy, registering two goals and three assists in his first youth season. He was ineligible to play in Hajduk Split's historic UEFA Youth League run due to a special rule where older players in the junior ages must have at least two years of club experience in order to be eligible to play.
Due to injuries of Dino Mikanović and Gergő Lovrencsics, Sigur made his official senior debut as a right back in a 2–0 victory against Varaždin on April 22, 2023. He scored his first goal for Hajduk Split against Varaždin on February 24, 2024.
Sigur holds dual citizenship of Canada and Croatia. In 2023, he received call-ups to the Croatia U21 ahead of the 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship and Canadian national team, and opted to represent the former.
In August 2024, the Croatian Football Federation announced that Sigur had decided to switch his international allegiance and would be representing Canada. On August 27, he was officially called up by Canada for two friendly matches against the United States and Mexico. Sigur made his debut in a goalless friendly draw against the latter opponent on September 10.
