Jeroen Zoet (Dutch pronunciation: [jə.ˈrun ˈzut]; born 6 January 1991) is a Dutch professional footballer who currently plays as a goalkeeper for PSV in the Dutch Eredivisie. In November 2012, he was called up for the first time for the Netherlands national squad, but he did not make his first appearance until October 2015, when he was subbed on for an injured Tim Krul. He previously played two seasons on loan for RKC Waalwijk.

Club career

Zoet during the Europa League game against FC Zenit on 26 February 2015.

Zoet played for his home town club BV Veendam's youth academy until 2006. He started his career at PSV at the age of 15, slowly making his way through up the ranks and into the senior squad. He earned his first call up to the senior side during the 2008–09 season making the substitutes bench in the game against AZ. He then went on to have a few loan spells at RKC, making his league debut against Heracles in an eventual 2–2 draw on 6 August 2011.

Zoet returned to his parent club PSV at the start of the 2013–14 season where he has, since, been first choice under manager Phillip Cocu. He has been highly regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the Eredivisie, attracting the interest of Premier League clubs such as Arsenal and Newcastle. During the 2014–15 season, PSV won the league title, with Zoet as the club's first-choice goalkeeper; it was the first major trophy of his career. In November 2015, Zoet extended his contract with the club until 2019. During the 2015–16 season, Zoet won the Johan Cruijf shield and he also played in the Champions League with PSV Eindhoven. They reached the quarter-finals of the tournament, where they faced Spanish side Atlético Madrid. Zoet put in strong performances throughout the tie and was twice named to the team of the week. Following a draw on aggregate over both legs, PSV lost out to Atlético Madrid on penalties. However, Zoet won his third major prize at the end of the season after clinching another title for PSV.

Zoet started in goal for PSV on the 15 April 2018, as they beat rivals Ajax 3–0 to clinch the 2017–18 Eredivisie title.^[1]

International career

Zoet received his first call up to the senior Netherlands team in September 2012.^[2] Zoet made his international debut on 10 October 2015, coming on as a late substitute for the injured Tim Krul in a 2–1 away win against Kazakhstan in a Euro 2016 qualifier.^[3]
