[edit] Club career

He began his career with the amateurs of Excelsior'20, then went to Sparta Rotterdam, playing there for five seasons. In 2005 he switched to AZ, where he started as a second-choice centre forward, although he bagged quite a few goals. His breakthrough would be in 2006-07, being one of Eredivisie's top scorers with 22, and reaching the Holland national football team, aged 28.

Koevermans rejected a contract offer from AZ to extend his tenure at the club and his manager Louis van Gaal informed him that he would not be a first-team regular from then on with this resulting in his pushing for a move to another club.^[1]

[edit] International career

He made his international debut for the Netherlands in a Euro 2008 qualifier against Slovenia on 28 March 2007. He scored his first international goal on 17 November 2007 against Luxembourg.
