Sjoerd Overgoor (born 6 September 1988) is a Dutch former professional footballer. He played for De Graafschap, Go Ahead Eagles, Szombathelyi Haladás and TOP Oss.{{WorldFootball.net|sjoerd-overgoor}} He will join HSC '21 from the 2021–22 season, and work as a youth coach for Twente.

Club career

Overgoor moved to the youth academy of FC Twente after playing for VV DEO and VV Reünie. From there, he went to De Graafschap, for whom he made his professional debut on 14 August 2009 in a match against FC Eindhoven. He won the Eerste Divisie title with the club in his debut season.{{cite news |title=De Graafschap kampioen eerste divisie |url=https://www.volkskrant.nl/sport/de-graafschap-kampioen-eerste-divisie~b5c71b06/ |work=de Volkskrant |date=4 April 2010 |language=nl-NL}} Overgoor scored his first league goal on 24 November 2010, the winner, in a 0–1 win over Willem II. He had come on as a 57th minute substitute for Rydell Poepon.{{cite web |title=Willem II vs. De Graafschap - 24 novembre 2010 |url=https://it.soccerway.com/matches/2010/11/24/netherlands/eredivisie/sbv-willem-ii-tilburg/bv-de-graafschap/941528/ |website=it.soccerway.com |publisher=Perform Group |accessdate=2 September 2020}}

Overgoor moved from De Graafschap to Go Ahead Eagles on 31 January 2012, who initially loaned him on a six-month deal and afterwards signed him on a permanent contract in the summer of 2012. He experienced another promotion to the Eredivisie with that club – this time via the 2012–13 promotion play-offs.

After Go Ahead Eagles were relegated back to the second division in the 2014–15 season, Overgoor left for SC Cambuur.{{cite web |title=Cambuur plukt Overgoor weg bij Go Ahead Eagles |url=https://www.vi.nl/nieuws/cambuur-plukt-overgoor-weg-bij-go-ahead-eagles |publisher=Voetbal International |accessdate=2 September 2020 |language=Dutch |date=1 June 2015}} There, he was assigned number 8. Overgoor was appointed captain of Cambuur after one match, after his predecessor Etiënne Reijnen left for FC Groningen. He also suffered relegation in the 2015–16 season with Cambuur from the Eredivisie. Overgoor himself would, however, not play in a lower division again. Instead, in June 2016, he signed a three-year contract with Hungarian club Szombathelyi Haladás, who the previous season had finished fifth in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I, the highest tier.{{cite web |last1=Timmer |first1=Marco |title='Sjoerd en Sjoerd bij Haladás, dat klinkt als mooi avontuur' |url=https://www.vi.nl/nieuws/sjoerd-en-sjoerd-bij-haladas-dat-klinkt-als-mooi-avontuur |publisher=Voetbal International |accessdate=2 September 2020 |language=Dutch |date=23 June 2016}} There, he became a teammate with fellow Dutch player, Sjoerd Ars.

On 12 July 2017, Overgoor returned to the Netherlands and Go Ahead Eagles.{{cite news |title=Sjoerd Overgoor terug bij Go Ahead Eagles: "Ik ben terug waar ik hoor" |url=https://www.rtvoost.nl/nieuws/272604/Sjoerd-Overgoor-terug-bij-Go-Ahead-Eagles-Ik-ben-terug-waar-ik-hoor |work=RTV Oost |date=12 July 2017 |language=NL}} He moved to TOP Oss on 31 January 2019.{{cite news |title=Sjoerd Overgoor vertrekt op de laatste dag van transfermarkt |url=https://www.hetdeventernieuws.nl/2019/01/31/sjoerd-overgoor-vertrekt-op-de-laatste-dag-van-transfermarkt/ |work=Het Deventer Nieuws |date=31 January 2019 |language=nl}} He announced his retirement from professional football on 2 March 2021, after suffering a knee injury in practice. Instead, he would continue as a youth coach for Twente and play at amateur level for HSC '21.{{cite news |last1=Arentsen |first1=Dennis |title=Sjoerd Overgoor zet door kruisbandletsel vervroegde punt achter profcarrière: 'Het is klaar, mooi zo' |url=https://www.destentor.nl/ga-eagles/sjoerd-overgoor-zet-door-kruisbandletsel-vervroegde-punt-achter-profcarriere-het-is-klaar-mooi-zo~a2974159/ |work=De Stentor |date=2 March 2021 |language=nl}}
