Although Henk Veerman has already been presented at FC Volendam, the new acquisition was not yet on the field. The last paperwork still has to be paid and then the striker can really make his comeback on the training field at ‘his’ Volendam. “Only the changing rooms are still the same, but everything else is different,” says Veerman, who returns to De Dijk after seven years.

Veerman still followed the club closely in recent years. As a supporter, he sat in the stands and experienced the promotion up close. “That was magical,” says the tall striker. Despite the fact that Veerman knew at the time that the club had been promoted to the Eredivisie, he was not yet thinking of a transfer. “I was still the first striker at FC Utrecht at the time.”
Pair with Mühren
This summer, the Domstedelen brought in considerable competition with Bas Dost. Veerman then started to think and quickly came to the conclusion to return to Volendam. Bee The New Orange Veerman will be able to form a couple with Robert Mühren, who scored 29 goals in the first division last year. The two played together at FC Volendam in the past. “Then Robert played behind me.”
