Career

Koninklijke HFC

Offerhaus began his football career in the youth academies of MOC, HVV Hollandia, Heerenveen, and Emmen, before joining Koninklijke HFC. He made his senior debut on the opening matchday of the 2022–23 Tweede Divisie season, starting in a 1–0 home victory against Spakenburg. [2] He was a regular starter that season, playing every match and missing only nine minutes of play, as Koninklijke HFC finished seventh, slightly above mid-table. [3] [4] [5]

Quick Boys

On 16 November 2022, Offerhaus signed with fellow Tweede Divisie club Quick Boys, set to join them at the start of the 2023–24 season. [6] [7] Offerhaus made his debut for Quick Boys on 19 August 2023, in the season's opening match, starting in a 3–1 away victory over De Treffers. [8] He was a consistent presence in the lineup throughout the season, starting in every match except one. [3]

Telstar

Despite initially extending his contract with Quick Boys, [9] Offerhaus signed his first professional contract with Eerste Divisie club Telstar on 21 May 2024. [10] [11] He made his professional debut for the club on 9 August 2024, in a 3–2 away victory against recently relegated Vitesse. Starting the match, he played the full 90 minutes and contributed two assists. [12] [13] He quickly established himself as a regular starter under head coach Anthony Correia. [3]

Telstar entered the final round of the regular season with a place in the promotion play-offs at stake, facing Emmen in a direct contest for qualification. Telstar won 3–0, with Offerhaus scoring his first professional goal. [14] He featured in all of the club's subsequent play-off matches, including a 2–2 draw and 3–1 victory over Willem II in the final round, which secured Telstar's promotion to the Eredivisie for the first time in 47 years. [15] [16]

Personal life

Offerhaus was born in Heerhugowaard but grew up in Midwoud. Outside of football, he previously worked as a project coordinator at a construction company. He left this job in 2024 to fully focus on his professional football career with Telstar, stating, "Working can always come later; being involved with football every day is the most rewarding thing."
