Club career

Born in Torremolinos, Province of Málaga to a Dutch father and a Spanish mother, Gerrit spent the vast majority of his career in his country in the Segunda División B or lower, for example playing two years with Málaga CF's reserves.[1] He was relegated from that league in 2007, and met the same fate with Mérida UD at the end of the 2008–09 season.

On 14 January 2010, Gerrit moved abroad and signed a contract with MFK Košice.[2] He scored his only goal for the Slovak club on 24 April in a 2–0 home win against FK Senica,[3] and featured regularly throughout the campaign (12 starts, 11 games complete) as the team finished in 11th position, barely avoiding Super Liga relegation.

In the summer, Gerrit returned to Spain and its lower leagues, splitting 2010–11 with AD Cerro de Reyes – again being relegated from the third tier – and amateurs Juventud de Torremolinos CF. He continued to compete in the third and fourth divisions the following seasons, representing UD Marbella, Unión Estepona CF and CD El Palo.[4]

On 23 July 2014, Gerrit signed a 1+1 deal with Segunda División side CD Numancia.[5] He made his official debut on 31 August, starting in a 2–1 away loss to Real Betis,[6] and totalled 15 appearances across the season, scoring to open a 1–1 home draw with CD Leganés on 26 October.[7]

Gerrit then returned to division three, going on to have spells at Marbella, San Fernando CD,[8] CD Ebro[9] and CF Talavera de la Reina.[10]
