Goalkeeper Sem Westerveld will be part of the first at AZ from next season. In addition, his contract has been opened until the summer of 2026, with the option of an extra year.
“I think it says a lot about the club’s confidence in me”, 19-year-old Westerveld said via AZ.nl† “The other way around, of course, because I’m signing for quite a good time. It all went very quickly with the Youth League, of course. Due to circumstances, I started training at the first and stayed there. So I’m very happy that I have my contract extended.”
Last season, the son of former goalkeeper Sander Westerveld played seventeen matches in the first division. With AZ O-19, the goalkeeper was important in the Youth League by being decisive twice in a penalty shootout.
