From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ivan Vicelich (born September 3, 1976 in Auckland) is a New Zealand soccer player, who currently plays as a midfielder for RKC Waalwijk in the Dutch Eredivisie. He's of Croat origin (parents are from southern Croatia).

Vicelich played for Waitakere City F.C. and Central United before establishing himself as one of the best players for the Football Kingz, when the Auckland based club joined the Australian National Soccer League in 1999.

Thanks to the contacts he made through his Kingz colleague, John Lammers, he was able to impress Roda JC, with whom he signed in 2001. Since 2002, Ivan Vicelich has been a regular player for Roda JC. In May 2006 he signed a 2 year contract at Dutch Eredivisie club RKC Waalwijk.
