Mattijs Branderhorst (born 31 December 1993) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays for NEC, as a goalkeeper.[1][2]

Club career[]

Willem II[]

Branderhorst came through the youth ranks at Willem II from his childhood club Theole. On 18 November 2011, he was included in the first-team squad for the first time. In a match against Almere City, manager Jurgen Streppel kept him on the bench for the entire game.[3] In the years that followed, Branderhorst became a regular starter in the reserve team of the Tilburg-based side, which featured players such as Virgil van Dijk and Frenkie de Jong.[4]

Branderhorst was loaned to MVV in 2015.[5] There, he made his professional debut on 13 September 2015 as a substitute for the injured Jo Coppens against NAC Breda.[6]

He made his debut for Willem II on 15 October 2017 in the home match against FC Twente. In the match, he made the start for the injured Timon Wellenreuther.[7]

NEC[]

On 28 January 2019, Branderhorst was loaned to NEC for the remainder of the season.[8] On 1 February, he made his debut in the 4–1 home win over Jong FC Utrecht. After the loan ended, NEC brought him to Nijmegen on a permanent deal, with him signing a contract for two seasons.[9] The second season he was the undisputed starter in goal and played all matches until the competition was shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He started the 2020–21 season as second goalkeeper, behind Norbert Alblas, who had recovered from an injury.[10] He did, however, start the two KNVB Cup matches against Fortuna Sittard and VVV-Venlo.[11] On 26 February 2021, manager Rogier Meijer decided to switch goalkeepers: after a number of unfortunate performances by Alblas, Branderhorst became the starting goalkeeper again.[12] On 23 May, Branderhorst won promotion with NEC to the Eredivisie, by beating NAC Breda 1–2 in the final of the play-offs.[13] He signed a new two year contract on 22 June 2021.[14]
