Jay Gorter, born on 30 May 2000 (age 26), is a Dutch goalkeeper with Pafos, where he wears the number 1 shirt. An imposing 6ft 3in (1.90m), he brings the obvious reach and presence expected of a modern keeper, without needing the usual brochure language around it.
His clearest early run came at Go Ahead Eagles in 2020-21, when he made 37 league appearances. For a young goalkeeper, that sort of season carries weight: regular football, regular scrutiny, and not much room to hide.
Gorter is now with Pafos, and in 2025-26 he has made two Champions League appearances for the Cypriot club, matching his total appearances for them across all competitions. His current market value is around Β£765,000, according to Transfermarkt.
His career so far is that of an established professional goalkeeper, shaped by a substantial league season in the Netherlands and a current spell at Pafos that has already included European football.
