Jeffrey Hoogervorst
Jeffrey Hoogervorst (born 23 October 1984) is a Dutch retired footballer who played as a central defender. Club career
Born in Amsterdam, Hoogervorst moved at only 18 from local AFC Ajax to Sporting de Gijón in Spain, after signing a three-year contract. With the Segunda División club he only appeared regularly in the 2005–06 season, also serving a loan at lowly Asturias neighbours Marino de Luanco. In summer 2006, Hoogervorst agreed to a deal at Real Madrid Castilla also in the second level, but was highly unsuccessful during his brief spell, playing only one match (one minute) as the team were also relegated; in the following transfer window he dropped down to Segunda División B after joining FC Barcelona B, being finally released by the Pep Guardiola-led side in March 2008. Hoogervorst returned to football ahead of the 2009–10 campaign, moving to Tercera División and returning to former club Marino. He continued to play in Spain's lower leagues until his retirement.
