Club career

Early career

Rosario began his football career in the youth ranks of AVV Swift, followed by a brief stint with Feyenoord, before joining his local club AFC DWS. In 2012 Dutch broadcasting company HUMAN released the documentary film The Price of Heaven which follows Rosario from the period in which he captained the D1 squad of DWS.[1][2]

Having been sensationalized as the next Ronaldo by the media, Rosario is confronted with the choice of joining the youth academies of either Ajax, Feyenoord or PSV, the top three clubs in the country. Rosario eventually decides for Ajax and in 2010 he joined the B2 squad (under-16) under coach Orlando Trustfull.[3]

Almere City

In 2014 Rosario transferred to Ajax partner club Almere City FC. On 7 August 2015 he made his debut for the first team in the Eerste Divisie, the 2nd tier of professional football in the Netherlands, in a 3–3 draw at home against VVV-Venlo. He was subbed on by head coach Maarten Stekelenburg in the 59th minute for Soufyan Ahannach.[4]

PSV Eindhoven

On 25 July 2016, Pablo Rosario signed a four-year deal for Dutch club PSV Eindhoven.[5]

International career

Having dual citizenship, Rosario is eligible to represent both the Netherlands as well as the Dominican Republic at senior level. He made his international debut playing for the Netherlands under-16 side in a friendly match against Austria U-16 on 9 February 2013. On 12 November 2015 he made his debut for the Netherlands U19 in a 2016 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualification match against England U19 which ended in a 2–2 draw.[6]

Rosario earned his first full international call up when Ronald Koeman named him in the Netherlands squad in October 2018.[7]
