2025 in review

After signing as a homegrown in 2024, Sipić was expected to play a bigger role with Huntsville City and continue his development. Earning a spot on the bench for three of Nashville's first four matches seemed to indicate progress.

The rest of the season, unfortunately, did not.

With Huntsville, Sipić started just four matches, coming off the bench in nine and an unused substitute in eight. By the end of the season, he was out of the squad entirely. Injuries certainly may have played a part, but when Sipić did get on the field, he looked out of sync with the rest of the attack, and his movement in the final third left a lot to be desired. It was a disappointing stagnation for the striker.

Moment of the season

Sipić's lone goal of the year game in a 5-0 blowout win over a 10-man Chicago Fire II, scoring a tap-in after some horrendous defending and a layoff from Jordan Knight.

Looking ahead

Sipić is under contract with Nashville through 2027, with an option for 2028. He'll continue to get opportunities to develop, but he needs to make drastic and quick strides to have a chance of playing at the first-team level. That's hard to do if he's not consistently getting on the pitch for Huntsville.

He's currently on trial in the German third division. Could a move to Europe be in the cards? It may be best for all parties.
