Tieme Klompe (born 8 April 1976) is a Dutch former footballer who played as a defender for Eredivisie clubs SC Heerenveen, RKC Waalwijk and FC Groningen.[1]

Club career

Klompe started his career at SC Heerenveen, where he was a first-team player for eight seasons.[2] During his time at Heerenveen, the club reached the final of the KNVB Cup (1996–97) and finished as runners-up in the Eredivisie (1999–2000), the latter resulting in qualification for the Champions League group stage (2000–01).

In the summer of 2004, Klompe moved to RKC Waalwijk, where he was released a year later, having made two appearances. He then signed an amateur contract with FC Groningen. After making one appearance, he announced his retirement on 24 October 2005. He cited the many injuries he struggled with during his career as the reason for his decision.[3]

International career

In 1998, Klompe was selected for the Netherlands national under-21 team, making his first appearance on 18 February against Portugal.[4] He was subsequently part of the Netherlands squad at the final stages of the 1998 UEFA European Under-21 Championship in Romania, appearing in one match as the team finished in fourth place.[5]
