Nick Van Sicklen (born 1 February 1983 in the United States) is an American retired soccer player.
Career
After an unsuccessful trial with Nurnberg in the German top flight, which an agent invited him to, Van Sicklen was drafted by MLS side D.C. United in 2005.[1] Despite this, Van Sicklen said initially that "playing professionally wasn't even on the radar" and that he "was satisfied playing Division I [college soccer]".[2] However, he only made two appearances for D.C. United, both in the CONCACAF Champions League, and eventually asked to be released.[3] Within half a year, he signed for Canterbury United in New Zealand amid interest from MLS clubs Houston Dynamo as well as New York Red Bulls.[3]
