Koen Bosma (born 11 September 1990 in Amstelveen, Netherlands) is a Dutch footballer who presently plays for Amsterdamsche FC of the Dutch Tweede Divisie as of 2015.

Career[]

Cambodia[]

Impressing during a trial with 2011 Cambodian League winners Phnom Penh Crown and netting three goals in a friendly versus TriAsia,[2] Bosma officially completed his transfer to the club in August 2014,[3] signing for one season only[2] and intermingling with five foreigners as well as eight Cambodia national team players.[4] Next, he participated in the pre-season 2014 Mekong Club Championship with the club, scoring a goal in their first game, a 5-2 defeat to Becamex Binh Duong in the semi-finals.[5]

Comparing footballers in Cambodia to their Dutch counterparts, Bosma has stated that they are better at attacking play but are behind in terms of tactics and defense.[4]

Vietnam[]

Cancelling his contract with the acquiescence of the Phnom Penh Crown board shortly after the Mekong Club Championship,[5] the Dutchman signed for Song Lam Nghe An of the Vietnamese V.League 1 in December 2014,[6] changing to a midfield position in the process.[5] Despite beginning the 2015 season well with two starts and two assists in his first two games, Bosma was substituted on in the third round,[7] which would prove to be his last official game in Vietnam. After only being used for practice matches, Bosma arranged a meeting with the Song Lam Nghe An president and left by April 2015.[8]

Throughout his stay in Vietnam, the forward was seen as more of a playmaker and was praised by the club president as a smart footballer.[7]

Australia[]

Joining Sydney United 58 of the Australian NPL NSW until the end of the 2015 season following his spell in Vietnam,[9] Bosma almost sealed a move to a Malaysian third division team but the deal never happened.[9] While plying his trade with Sydney United, the Amstelveen native helped them clinch the 2015 Waratah Cup, making two assists in the semi-final.[10]
