Nici is a tough-tackling, box-to-box player who has undergone a tremendous development in the last few years.

Nicolas Seiwald said, “I have spent the entirety of my career so far at Salzburg, starting in their U9 team. The last 13 years in Salzburg have been fantastic. I will enjoy each and every day I have left here and give it my all until the end of the season. My aim is to leave Salzburg as an Austrian champion.
