Tein Cornelis Johannes Troost (born 15 January 2002) is a Dutch footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Belgian Challenger Pro League club Lokeren. [2]
From Breda in North Brabant, Netherlands, Troost started playing as a goalkeeper after being rejected following a trial with his local club as an outfield player and almost gave-up football before deciding to try the new position. He was spotted by a scout at NAC Breda playing as a goalkeeper for his local club and invited to try out with them. [3]
Having joined the academy at NAC Breda as a youngster, he left the club to join-up with Feyenoord in 2018. [4] The following year, as a seventeen-year-old, he signed a first professional contract with the club, agreeing to a two-and-a-half-year deal. [5] He spent five years in the Feyenoord academy and was an unused substitute 39 times with the first team without making an appearance. [6]
Troost went on to rejoin NAC Breda in the summer of 2023. [6] [7] He made his senior debut for NAC Breda on 22 September 2023, against FC Emmen in the Eerste Divisie. [8] [9] He was a member of the squad that earned promotion to the Eredivisie in June 2024. [3]
On 7 December 2024, it was announced that Troost would join newly promoted League of Ireland Premier Division club Cork City on loan until July 2025, with the option of a permanent deal. [10] [3] He made his debut on 14 February 2025 in a 2-2 home draw against Galway United. [11] Troost made 22 appearances in all competitions during his loan spell, but turned down the option to move to the club on a permanent basis, despite Cork being willing to meet the €75,000 release clause in the loan deal to secure his signature. [12]
On 17 July 2025, Troost signed a two-year contract with Lokeren in the Belgian second-tier Challenger Pro League. [13]
Troost has represented the Netherlands under-17 side. [14] He was a member of the Dutch squad that played at the 2019 FIFA U17 World Cup. [15]
