Career[]
Sealing a move to AO Chania of the Greek third level in 2011, his first professional experience,[2] van der Hooft was not paid there, however, leaving after six months.[3]
Moving to Persekap Pasuruan of the Indonesian second division in 2013,[4] van der Hooft registered too late so he penned a three-month contract with Phnom Penh Crown of the Cambodian League instead,[5] wearing the number 49[3] and authoring a hat-trick on his debut in a 3-1 win over Kirivong Sok Sen Chey.[6] He was also the highest paid player in Cambodia at the time and was sometimes referred to as the "Cristiano Ronaldo of Cambodia".[7] However, after his spell with Phnom Penh Crown, van der Hooft became an incorrigible drug and gambling addict, constantly inebriated as well.[7] Then, for driving a hacker who was wanted by the police and other offenses, he was arrested and jailed for 70 days.[7] Upon release in 2017, the Dutch midfielder returned to former youth team VV UDO.[7]
Tried out for Indonesian side Gresik United in late 2012.[8]
