Club career

Born in Amsterdam, Hoogervorst moved at only 18 from local AFC Ajax to Sporting de Gijón in Spain, after signing a three-year contract. With the Segunda División club he only appeared regularly in the 2005–06 season, also serving a loan at lowly Asturias neighbours Marino de Luanco.[1]

In summer 2006, Hoogervorst agreed to a deal at Real Madrid Castilla also in the second level, but was highly unsuccessful during his brief spell, playing only one match (one minute) as the team were also relegated;[2] in the following transfer window he dropped down to Segunda División B after joining FC Barcelona B, being finally released by the Pep Guardiola-led side in March 2008.[3]

Hoogervorst returned to football ahead of the 2009–10 campaign, moving to Tercera División and returning to former club Marino.[4] He continued to play in Spain's lower leagues until his retirement.[5]

gollark: If it's just entirely random, the vast majority of matches will probably be with people you do not actually like.
