PSV defender leaves for city rival
1 min readYouth player Rens Boon makes the switch from PSV to city rival FC Eindhoven. Boon played for the past nine years in PSV’s youth academy and is now therefore making the switch to the city rival.
The defender signs a two-year contract with the blue-and-whites. Boon sees a move to FC Eindhoven as the right step in his further development as a footballer.
The local newspaper describes Boon as a footballer who is ready for the next step in his football career. ''Despite his young age, Rens has already gained experience within the top of youth football. We see in him a player with potential who is ready for the next step in his development. We are pleased that he has chosen to continue his development at FC Eindhoven and we look forward to his contribution to the team,'' technical director Marc Scheepers says in a statement on the FC Eindhoven club website.

"Rens heeft ondanks zijn jonge leeftijd al ervaring opgedaan binnen de top van het jeugdvoetbal" oké maar voetballen in Eindhoven is toch vooral een andere stap dan PSV. Hopelijk betekent dit voor hem wél speeltijd en geen bank-slaapje, want potentie hebben ze bij PSV genoeg gezien.
Wow, 9 jaar PSV jeugd en dan toch de deur uit naar FC Eindhoven. Tbh ben benieuwd hoe ze hem gaan gebruiken, want als hij echt "klaar is voor de volgende stap" dan had PSV hem toch ook kunnen laten doorstromen of monitoren.
Marc Scheepers said he already has experience at the top youth level, but i just hope FC Eindhoven can actually develop him and not waste his momentum. Any idea what his role is there, CB or more of a ball-playing defender? 👀
Crazy how long he was in PSV's academy, 9 years is not a small number. Tbh FC Eindhoven calling it a step up for his development sounds like good PR, but i wonder if PSV just couldnt keep him. 🤔
