Contents

He played for seven clubs (one in France) during a 17-year professional career, including PSV Eindhoven.

Career

Born in Paramaribo, Suriname, de Jong started his career in the second division, where he played for Telstar and SC Heerenveen. He earned a reputation as a tough tackler, and his performances did not go unnoticed by Eredivisie clubs, and joined PSV Eindhoven in the summer of 1989.

At Eindhoven, de Jong's career never really took off due to stiff competition for places, and after having played only 51 games in five years, which included a short loan spell at FC Groningen, he was eventually released. However, during his time at PSV, he was capped three times for the Netherlands, making his debut on 21 November 1990 against Greece in a UEFA Euro 1992 qualifying match; his last international was on 17 April 1991 against Finland, for the same competition.

De Jong moved to France in 1994, signing with Ligue 1 side Stade Malherbe Caen. After an uneventful season (only 15 matches, relegation), he returned home, playing for FC Eindhoven and MVV Maastricht.He retired at almost 37.[ citation needed ]

Personal life

De Jong's son, Nigel, was also a footballer who represented the Netherlands at international level. [1]
