    Seems to be a big kid. Does anybody know what position he plays? No comprende. They even got English coaches in Holland!

    Apparently the US sees him as a left back. They list him as a defender and he's been playing LB for NEC.

    Rickson van Hees plays in NEC under 17 as right back. He is an American who ended up at NEC in a special way. 'Yes, I was with a Vitesse team first. But there were problems getting my transfer done and then I could go to Nijmegen. I'm happy here. As a right back I like to come up and take the whole flank with me. The left wingers should chase me and often complain about that. "

    It looks like he's been with the second team of NEC, the first team of which of course plays in the second division.

    Sadly, there is no debut and no promotion today.

    Thread title still needs to be changed
