NEVERS Thierry
Born: 26 March 2002, Reading, Berkshire
Position: Winger
​
A promising young forward joined West Ham United from local club Reading on a three-year contract on 1 June 2021. Berkshire born and raised, Nevers is an exciting young talent, typically deployed on the left wing, but equally adept playing through the middle, Nevers became a regular for Reading’s U18s in 2017/18 whilst still a schoolboy.
The promising forward’s Premier League 2 breakthrough subsequently arrived in 2019/20, with Nevers recording four goals and two assists in his first five starts for Reading’s U23s.
Indeed, while spending nine years in the academy system of his local club, Nevers accumulated three seasons’ worth of experience of U23s football with the Royals as a teenager, scoring nine times in 25 appearances in Premier League 2 – including against the Hammers in a 3-3 draw in January 2020.
Nevers' first season in Claret and Blue saw the winger show his attacking prowess, scoring nine times in U23s action.
On 18 August 2022 he joined Newport County on loan for the duration of the 2022–23 season and made his debut on 21 August 2022. Made 12 appearances and scored 1 goal before he was released back to his parent club on 29 December 2022. On 10 January 2023 Nevers signed a loan deal with Bradford City until the end of the season.
On 19 January 2024 West Ham confirmed that the 21-year-old winger has completed a permanent transfer to Moldovan Super Liga side FC Sheriff Tiraspol, making the switch after two-and-a-half years in east London.

Nilsen played for Norwegian side Tromsø between 1989 and 1997. West Ham mamager Harry Redknapp invited the defender to play in a pre-season testimonial against Charlton Athletic for former 'Hammer' Simon Webster on 4 August 1997.
Redknapp was suitable impressed and immediately lodged a bid with Tromsø to bring the Norwegian Under-21 player to Upton Park, but the deal wasn't accepted.
Shortly later Nilsen signed for ACC Milan, then moved to SSC napoli, before returning to Tromsø in 2003. In 2005 he became assistant coach to the club before taking over the hot seat in 2007.
