Youth career
Born in Belaov in Krasnovlac, Niels moved to Mataba at the age of 8 where he attended Xinghal academy for a year before switching to join the local Tuh Payah Soccer Club youth section. He would then move to Seragaan at the age of 13 and would sign up for Seragaan FC's youth setup in 2021.
Senior career
Daau United
Following a good season in the DNTP Under-16 League, Niels was snatched on a free by Daau United as chief scout Matthew McCarlson kept recommending Klarsson to head of youth Eric Tan. Niels was signed on a youth apprenticeship contract which meant he would train and play with the senior squad whilst also being able to play for the reserves and youth academy sides.
