Cherrion Valerius (born 22 September 2005) is a Dutch-born professional footballer who plays as defender for Eredivisie side NAC Breda. [1]
From Rotterdam, he played for Spartaan'20 prior to joining the youth set-up of NAC Breda when he was thirteen years-old. In the 2022-23 season he captained the NAC U18 side. [2]
In February 2024 he signed a three-and-half year professional contract with the club. [3] He made his professional debut for NAC Breda in the Eerste Divisie against Jong PSV on 25 April 2024. [4] Following the club's promotion to the Eredivisie he made seven further appearances for the first team at the start of the 2024-25 season. However, a knee injury that required surgery suffered in training in October 2024 ruled him out for the rest of the year. [5]
