[edit] Early career
Stefano Seedorf started his playing career with Hellas Sport, but like his cousins would soon be discovered by Ajax. After rising through the ranks with players such as Serginho Greene (Feyenoord) and Youssouf Hersi (Vitesse Arnhem) he made is debut in the first team line-up on 30 April 2002, just 2 days after his 20th birthday. However, after 2 years and just 5 league matches Stefano was sent away on a loan spell with NAC Breda.
[edit] On loan
In Breda Stefano made an immediate impact. He proliferated himself as a fast paced technical midfielder and scored 7 goals in 29 matches. Despite his successful performance with NAC, his contract with Ajax was not extended. In the summer of 2004 Seedorf was therefore transferred to FC Groningen.
[edit] FC Groningen
FC Groningen, has in recent years become a serious contender for the Dutch Eredivisie UEFA Cup slots. Last year marked the first time in some 20 years that FC Groningen had earned that right and privilege. Not entirely coincidentally the upward spiral of FC Groningen has coincided with the arrival of Stefano, as he is the most creative and forward minded player on the Groningen midfield.
