Danijel Nizic (born 3 March 1995) is an Australian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Football League Championship side Burnley.
Club career
Nizic was born in Sydney, New South Wales to Australian and Croatian parents.[3] He started his career with local side Sydney FC, before going on trial in 2012 with League One side Portsmouth.[3] He spent a year with the side on trial but was unable to complete a permanent move to the club due to work permit issues.[3] In July 2013, he signed for Championship side Burnley on a two-year contract after securing a work permit, also becoming fourth goalkeeper to sign for the club in the summer.[4]
In January 2014, he joined Conference North side Workington on an initial one-month loan along with Kyle Brownhill.[5]
In October 2015, he joined League One side Crewe Alexandra on loan,[6] making his debut for the club in an FA Cup first round tie against non-league Eastleigh. After first choice keeper Ben Garratt had been sent off, Nizic came on as a 64th minute substitute and ten minutes later gave away a penalty from which Eastleigh scored the only goal of the game, leaving Crewe manager Steve Davis questioning Nizic's 'mentality'.[7]
