Mike Eerdhuijzen is a Dutch central defender, born on 13 July 2000 (age 25), who plays for FC Utrecht. A tall presence at 6ft 3in (1.91m), he wears squad number 44 and is valued at around £1.5m by Transfermarkt.
His earlier senior football included a spell at FC Volendam, where his most productive league season came in 2021-22. He made 22 league appearances that season and scored once, hardly the stuff of attacking folklore, but useful enough for a centre-half building a career.
At Utrecht, Eerdhuijzen has been used across domestic and European competition. In 2025-26 he has made 15 appearances in all competitions, including nine in the Eredivisie, three in the Europa League, two in the European Play-offs and one in the KNVB Beker. He has not scored this season.
His career so far is a straightforward Dutch one: development at Volendam, then a place in Utrecht’s first-team squad, with his game centred on central defence rather than headlines.
