Anouk Anna Hoogendijk (Dutch pronunciation: [aːˈnuk ˈɑnaː ˈɦoːɣəndɛik]; born 6 May 1985) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays for Ajax as a midfielder or defender. She is nicknamed Noukie. [3]

A full international with over 100 caps since 2004 for the Dutch national team, he has represented the nation at one FIFA Women's World Cup and twice UEFA Women's Euro tournaments.

She played for Bristol Academy Women in the inaugural 2011 FA WSL campaign.[4]

Club career

Hoogendijk came to prominence aged 12, as a contestant on the "Geef Nooit Op" (Never Give Up) TV program.[5] She wished to train with FC Utrecht and, after a spell with Saestum, eventually signed for Utrecht at the outset of the Eredivisie Vrouwen in 2007. Hoogendijk realised her ambition of playing abroad when she signed an eight-month contract with English WSL club Bristol Academy in January 2011.[6]

In February 2012 Hoogendijk returned to Utrecht, before moving on to newly formed Ajax Vrouwen in May 2012. The transfer represented "a dream come true" for Hoogendijk as she had been a girlhood supporter of Ajax's male team.[7]

In January 2014, Hoogendijk signed for the English club Arsenal Ladies, where only played in 3 matches of the season.[8][9] In July 2014, Hoogendijk returned for the 2014–15 season to Ajax Vrouwen.[10] On May 30, 2016, she announced on her Instagram official account one-year extension of contract with Ajax Vrouwen.[11]

International career

Hoogendijk playing the team's first game of the UEFA Women's Euro 2013, 0–0 against Germany in Växjö.

On 6 August 2004 Hoogendijk debuted for the senior Netherlands women's national football team, as a half-time substitute in a 2–0 defeat to Japan in Zeist.[12]

Hoogendijk played in every match as the Netherlands reached the semi-final of UEFA Women's Euro 2009. In the quarter-final penalty shootout win over France, she struck the winning kick.[13]

In June 2013 national team coach Roger Reijners selected Hoogendijk in the Netherlands squad for UEFA Women's Euro 2013 in Sweden.[14] Playing in defence, Hoogendijk contributed to a very promising 0–0 draw with champions Germany in the team's opening game. She was disappointed when subsequent 1–0 defeats to Norway and Iceland consigned the Netherlands to a first round elimination: "I know it's not the end of the world but today it feels like the end of the world."[15]
