Career

Born in Amsterdam, Vertrouwd played for the youth sides of Fortuna Wormerveer  [ nl ], AZ Alkmaar and HVV Hollandia before joining FC Volendam in 2020. After playing for Jong Volendam in the Tweede Divisie, he made his first team debut on 25 February 2022, coming on as a second-half substitute for Achraf Douiri in a 4–1 Eerste Divisie home routing of Helmond Sport. ^[3]

A backup to Salva Ruiz, Vertrouwd contributed with one goal in 25 appearances overall (aside from four matches with the reserves) as the Orelluts achieved promotion to Segunda División. He subsequently became a regular starter, and renewed his contract until 2027 on 5 March 2025. ^[9]

Vertrouwd scored his first professional goal on 17 March 2025, netting his side's second in a 2–2 home draw against Deportivo de La Coruña. He finished the campaign as a first-choice, appearing in 35 matches overall.

On 12 August 2025, Vertrouwd signed a five-year contract with La Liga side Rayo Vallecano. ^[10]
