Jari De Busser is a Belgian goalkeeper, born on 21 October 1999 (age 26), and now with AZ. A commanding 6ft 3in (1.90m), he wears squad number 28 and is valued at around £3.5m by Transfermarkt.
His career has been shaped most clearly by Go Ahead Eagles. Across two seasons there he made 50 league appearances, giving him the run of senior football that matters most on his record so far. The 2024-25 campaign brought 16 league appearances and helped carry him towards a move up the Dutch game.
At AZ in 2026-27, De Busser has made 13 appearances in all competitions: eight in the Eredivisie, three in the KNVB Beker, one in the Johan Cruijff Schaal and one in the Europa League. He was linked with Celtic in May 2026, a straightforward transfer line rather than anything more substantial.
De Busser’s career to date is that of a developing Belgian goalkeeper whose strongest body of work remains at Go Ahead Eagles, with AZ now the next test.
