Miquel Nelom (born 22 September 1990) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a left back. Nelom has previously played in his homeland for Excelsior, Feyenoord, Sparta Rotterdam and Willem II, and for Scottish club Hibernian. He represented the Netherlands in two full international matches, both in 2013.

Club career

Nelom made his professional debut for Excelsior on 9 October 2009. He replaced Tobias Waisapy in the 90th minute of an Eerste Divisie away match against HFC Haarlem (0–1).[1] With Excelsior's surprising promotion in the season 2010–11, Nelom managed to make his Eredivisie debut on 7 August 2010. However, he couldn't prevent Excelsior losing the season opening match against De Graafschap (3-0).[2]

Nelom moved to Feyenoord in 2011. He played in over 100 Eredivisie matches for the club, helping them win the league championship in 2016–17 and the Dutch Cup in 2015–16. After a loan spell with Sparta Rotterdam in the early part of 2018, Nelom left Feyenoord at the end of the 2017–18 season.

Nelom signed a one-year contract with Scottish Premiership club Hibernian on 20 September 2018.[3] He was released by Hibernian in May 2019.[4]

He signed for Willem II in September 2019.[5]

International career

Born in the Netherlands, Nelom is of Surinamese descent.[6] In May 2013, Nelom was part of the Netherlands national team for a mini-tour of Asia. Nelom made his full international debut in a friendly against Indonesia.
