Career

Born in Zevenaar, Gelderland, Maertzdorf started playing football at amateur club RKPSC, before moving to De Graafschap's youth academy in 2001, as an eight-year-old. [3] He progressed through the club's youth teams and in 2012, he earned a spot in the first-team squad. He made his professional debut for the club on 10 August 2012 in the home match versus Excelsior, replacing Soufian El Hassnaoui in the second half of a 2–0 win. [4] [5] After a season at the club, he was offered a trial at Middlesbrough, but De Graafschap cancelled it last-minute due to the possibility of him starting. Subsequently, the club signed another player for his position. [3]

In June 2014, Maertzdorf transitioned to amateur football after struggling to break through at De Graafschap. He signed with De Treffers, a Sunday Topklasse club. [6] Following his first season, they moved to the newly implemented Derde Divisie, where they earned immediate promotion to the third-tier Tweede Divisie after one season.

After amassing more than 250 total appearances for De Treffers between 2014 and 2023, Maertzdorf joined Kozakken Boys in December 2023. [7] Although he had been with the club for nine and a half years, he expressed a desire for a new challenge, especially after losing his starting spot in the lineup. [8] He made his debut for the club on 13 January 2024, providing an assist for other newcomer Dico Jap Tjong in a 2–1 home loss to Rijnsburgse Boys. [9] [10]

Personal life

At the age of 14, on 2 October 2007, Maertzdorf was involved in a serious car accident that resulted in a head injury and left him in a coma for three days. [11] As a result, he was unable to play football for nearly a year. [3]

After transitioning to amateur football, Maertzdorf pursued a civil career alongside his football endeavors. As of 2021, he has been working as a personal support worker for individuals with mild intellectual disabilities and severe behavioral problems. [3]
