He later served Sunderland, Feyenoord, Vitesse Arnhem, PSV Eindhoven and NAC Breda. Zoetebier signed for Sunderland in the summer of 1997 as back up to Lionel Pérez.[1] However, he left in January 1998 having made just two appearances for the club (both in the League Cup).[2] His career highlight was being the starting goalkeeper for Feyenoord in the 2002 UEFA Cup Final against Borussia Dortmund as the Dutch club won 3-2. He also played in the 2002 UEFA Super Cup against Real Madrid which saw the Spanish side prevail 2-1. He was also an unplayed member of the Feyenoord side which won the Eredivisie in 1998-99 and the Dutch Super Cup in 1999 as Jerzy Dudek was the team's first-choice goalkeeper.

He joined FC Volendam as goalkeeping coach in 2008.
