[edit] Career

Kromkamp belongs to a new crop of Dutch players who have been brought into the Dutch national team by coach Marco van Basten (Contemporaries include Dirk Kuyt, Khalid Boulahrouz, Romeo Castelen, Barry Opdam, Hedwiges Maduro and Joris Mathijsen). He won his first cap on 18 August 2004 in a 2-2 draw against Sweden. In the following year he continued to be the first choice at right full back both in the national team and at his club AZ.

In the 2004-05 season he was part of the successful AZ team that reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup and finished third in the Dutch League. At the start of the 2005-06 season, Kromkamp signed with Villarreal CF of Spain.

On 29 December 2005, Villarreal agreed on a deal with Liverpool to exchange Josemi for Kromkamp, who made his debut for the Reds in their epic 5-3 victory over Luton Town in the FA Cup third round on January 7.

Shortly after Kromkamp's move to Liverpool, Dutch coach Marco Van Basten admitted that he would rather see Kromkamp play more regular games for his club - labelling the transfer as a bad move. Kromkamp hit back at this criticism by saying that he was very pleased to have joined Liverpool and that he would work hard to make it into Van Basten's 2006 World Cup squad. In May 2006, Van Basten announced his squad which included a place for Kromkamp, although he was not used in a single match during the tournament itself.

During his short career with Liverpool, Kromkamp found himself unable to displace Irish international Steve Finnan, although he did make a number of appearances from the bench, most notably in the 2006 FA Cup Final. He was involved in the start of the 2006-07 campaign for Liverpool, but was sold to PSV Eindhoven on 31 August 2006^[1].
