Wessel Speel, born on 17 October 2001 (age 24), is a Netherlands goalkeeper whose senior career has been shaped mainly at Shelbourne. A commanding 6ft 6in (1.98m) presence, he is the sort of keeper whose size is difficult to miss, though the job still tends to be judged by rather plainer things.
There was a brief stop at Minnesota United in 2025, where he made three league appearances, but Shelbourne has been the substance of it. Across two seasons he has made 31 league appearances for the Dublin club, with his role growing into that of a regular first-team figure rather than a squad name passing through.
In 2026, Speel has remained central to Shelbourne’s side, making 20 Premier Division appearances. He has also featured in European competition, with appearances in Champions League, Europa League and Conference League qualifying, as well as six in the Conference League proper.
His current market value is around £149,000, according to Transfermarkt. At this stage, his career is a straightforward one: a Dutch goalkeeper, established at Shelbourne, and still relevant in their first team in 2026.
