The deal was finalized on Tuesday at the club’s headquarters, formalizing a partnership that had been anticipated since Sieh began training with the squad during their initial winter roll-call on January 22, 2026.
Club officials confirmed that preliminary registration procedures are already underway.
The administration is reportedly racing against time to ensure Sieh is eligible for the club’s high-stakes upcoming Cup fixture against FK Sarajevo.
Should the bureaucratic process face delays, the striker is expected to make his competitive debut in the league restart against NK Travnik.
A New Chapter in Zenica
Speaking shortly after the signing ceremony, the Liberian youth international expressed his enthusiasm for the move to the Balkans.
“I am happy to have joined Čelik. I see this as a new step in my career,” Sieh said. “I would like to thank the entire team and the club for the warm welcome, both on and off the pitch. I am also grateful to God for this opportunity.”
Sieh joins the “Black and Reds” at a critical juncture as the club seeks to reclaim its former glory in Bosnian football.
Eyeing the Premier League
The club’s primary objective remains promotion back to the top-flight Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Sieh acknowledged the weight of the expectations and the passion of the Zenica fanbase.
“I hope we will achieve our main goal returning to the Premier League,” he added. “My message to the fans is to continue supporting the club as they have been. I’ve been following them, and I hope we will keep making them happy.”
NK Čelik Zenica is currently intensifying its mid-season preparations, with Sieh expected to play a pivotal role in the club’s offensive strategy for the second half of the campaign.
