Hidde ter Avest

I have a quiet admiration for full-backs like Hidde ter Avest. Coming out of Wierden and carving out places at right-back at Udinese and in the unforgiving grind of the EFL Championship with Oxford United, before returning to the Netherlands with Willem II, says a lot about durability and discipline. Right-backs rarely grab the headlines, yet a team falls apart without that constant up-and-down stamina down the flank. What interests me is the trajectory: a Dutch product proving himself abroad, born in 1997 and still very much in his prime. He strikes me as a player whose value shows up in the work nobody applauds, and I respect that kind of unglamorous reliability.
