Quinten van den Heerik (born 18 March 2002) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a striker for Eerste Divisie club Telstar.
Career
Van den Heerik was born in Alkmaar, North Holland, and played youth football for amateur clubs Kolping Boys and DEM until the age of 17.[1] In November 2019, he penned a contract with PEC Zwolle that ran until the summer of 2022.[3][1] Despite signing, he only found himself in the match selection on a few occasions without making his debut. Following the expiration of his contract, he moved to Telstar in 2022 after a successful trial.[4]
On 8 August 2022, he made his professional debut for Telstar in a match against Jong Ajax, replacing club legend Glynor Plet in the 81st minute of a 1–1 away draw.[5] However, it was in the final game of the season where he truly left his mark, netting his first two goals for Telstar. His brace played a pivotal role in securing a last-minute 2–1 victory against NAC Breda.[6][7]
Van den Heerik signed a new contract with Telstar on 8 June 2023, keeping him at the club until 2024 with an option for an additional season.[8][9] He swiftly earned a reputation as a "supersub" for the team, notably scoring stoppage-time winners against Jong Ajax and MVV in September and October 2023.[10][11]
