Simen Vidtun Nilsen

Simen Vidtun Nilsen is a Norwegian goalkeeper whose 1.91-metre frame and steady progression have taken him from lower-league football to SK Brann. At Tistedalen TIF, he made his senior debut in the 2018 Norwegian Fourth Division. In 2018, Nilsen joined Sarpsborg 08, entering its youth setup before moving into the senior squad. He made his Sarpsborg first-team debut in the Norwegian Football Cup against Kvik Halden in 2021, then appeared in the Eliteserien that December against Brann. After becoming a starter for Sarpsborg in 2022, he moved to Skeid on loan for the 2023 1. Divisjon season. Nilsen subsequently joined Ranheim in 2024, where he continued to establish himself in the division. In 2026, he returned to the Eliteserien with Brann, adding experience and goalkeeper depth to the squad.
