Hiroyuki Nishijima's Football Journey
Hiroyuki Nishijima was born in Kawai, Nara, Japan. He started his professional football career after finishing high school.
Early Career and First Clubs
In 2001, Hiroyuki Nishijima joined Sanfrecce Hiroshima, a club in Japan's top football league, the J1 League. He stayed with them until 2003, but he did not get to play in any official matches during this time.
In 2004, he moved to another J1 League club, Vissel Kobe. Again, he did not play in any matches there.
Finding His Place at Consadole Sapporo
Later in 2004, Nishijima joined Consadole Sapporo, a team in the J2 League (Japan's second division). This is where his career really took off! He quickly became a regular player. He played as a left defender and appeared in every match until the end of that season.
From 2005, he faced some challenges with injuries, which meant he played less often. However, he worked hard and became a regular player again from the middle of 2006.
Promotion to J1 League
In the 2007 season, Consadole Sapporo won the J2 League championship! This meant they were promoted back to the J1 League. Nishijima played a big part in this success.
Although Consadole Sapporo was relegated back to J2 after just one year in J1, Nishijima continued to play many matches for them, mostly as a side back, until 2010.
Later Career and Retirement
In 2011, Nishijima moved to Tokushima Vortis, another J2 League team. He was a regular side back for two seasons there.
In 2013, he joined Yokohama FC. He played for two seasons but did not appear in as many matches as before.
His last club was Giravanz Kitakyushu, which he joined in 2015. He played many games in 2015. However, his playing time decreased from 2016, and Giravanz Kitakyushu was relegated to the J3 League (Japan's third division) at the end of 2016.
