NK Čelik has officially announced the signing of Liberian forward Emmanuel King Sieh Jr. after the player joined the Bosnian top-flight side following a free transfer. The agreement marks a new step in the 19-year-old’s professional career as he commits to the club on an 18-month contract running through the 2026/27 season.
Sieh, a Liberian international who has featured for his country’s U20 side and been part of the extended senior national team setup, has been training with Čelik since the January preseason, after arriving for club trials on 22 January 2026.
The club, competing in the Prva liga Federacije Bosne i Hercegovine, confirmed the completion of the player’s registration and said it will pursue efforts for Sieh to be eligible for selection in Čelik’s upcoming Bosnia and Herzegovina Cup match against FK Sarajevo, with plans for inclusion in league action soon after.
In an official statement following his introduction to the team, Sieh expressed his excitement and gratitude for the opportunity:
“I am delighted to have joined Čelik. I see this as a new and important step in my career. I thank the entire team and club for a warm welcome both on training and off the pitch. I am grateful to God for this opportunity. I hope we achieve our main goal — return to the Premier League. To the supporters, continue to back the club as you have been; I look forward to helping make you proud.”
Before joining Čelik, Sieh enjoyed a standout spell in the Liberian top division, where he was recognised as one of the league’s best performers and helped his former club secure the national championship, finishing as one of the top scorers. He most recently played in Europe with FK Novi Pazar before making the move to Bosnia.
Čelik’s management underscored that the signing of Sieh aligns with the club’s ambition to strengthen its attacking options as it targets promotion to the Bosnian Premier League and heightened competitiveness in domestic competitions.
