Wesley Verhoek (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈwɛs.li vər.ˈɦuk]) (born 25 September 1986 in Leidschendam) is a Dutch footballer currently playing for Feyenoord in the Eredivisie. Known as a striker who can also play as a winger on either side of the pitch, Verhoek has spent most of his professional career at ADO Den Haag at different positions in attack. His younger brother John is also a professional footballer and Wesley played alongside his brother in the last 4 months of his ADO-career, when the latter was loaned out by Stade Rennes to the Hague football club. After 8 years at ADO, Verhoek transferred to FC Twente[1] in the 2012 winter transfer window, but was traded 7 months later to Feyenoord[2] for Jerson Cabral, who went in the opposite direction.
