Benjamin van den Broek (born 21 September 1987) is a New Zealand international footballer who plays as a midfielder for Telstar in the Dutch Eerste Divisie.

Born in Geleen, van den Broek has played for clubs in the Netherlands, England and Romania.

He has represented New Zealand at international level.

Club career

He started his career with NAC Breda, but made no Eredivisie appearances for the club. In 2008 he moved to HFC Haarlem, where he made 57 appearances in the Eerste Divisie, scoring 10 goals.

After Haarlem went bust in January 2010, Van den Broek was left without a club. Despite attracting interest from Lierse SK of Belgium and FC Den Bosch,[1] he signed for English League Two club Shrewsbury Town on 12 February until the end of the season.[2] He made his debut on 6 March, replacing Jamie Cureton for the last 25 minutes of a 0–3 defeat at Grimsby Town.[3] His first start came a week later in his first game at the New Meadow, lasting 73 minutes before being replaced by Steve Leslie in a 0–1 defeat to Rochdale.[4] He scored his only goal for the club in a 2–3 home defeat against Morecambe on 1 May.[5] Later that month, he signed a new one-year contract.[6]

He signed a contract with Dutch club Den Bosch in spring 2011. On 2 February 2015, Van den Broek signed with Romanian Liga I side Universitatea Cluj.[7]

In August 2015, Van den Broek signed for Conference side Barrow on a deal until the end of the season. However, in January 2016, Van den Broek left by mutual consent and went on to sign a two and a half year contract at Dutch side Telstar.

International career

On 8 March 2015, Van den Broek was called into the New Zealand national football team to play a friendly against South Korea by coach Anthony Hudson. He qualified through his mother, who is from New Zealand.[8] He made his debut in the match in Seoul on 31 March, replacing Bill Tuiloma for the final ten minutes of a 0–1 defeat.[9]
