Patrick Brouwer
Patrick Brouwer is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a forward for club Telstar.
Early years
Brouwer was raised in Leiden, South Holland. Aged twelve, he joined the youth system of Alphense Boys and, after one season, moved to Sparta Rotterdam, where he was initially used as a central midfielder before being converted into a wide forward. He made his professional debut for Sparta during the 2022–23 season, and spent 2023–24 on loan at FC Emmen, where injuries in the squad also saw him deployed at right-back; he scored four goals in 32 appearances in all competitions. He subsequently signed for Quick Boys in the Tweede Divisie, finishing as the club's top scorer in the 2024–25 season, as the club won the league title.
In June 2025, Brouwer joined Telstar on a three-year contract following the club's promotion to the Eredivisie. He made his league debut on 10 August 2025 in a 2–0 away defeat to Ajax, Telstar's first Eredivisie match since 1978; Brouwer went close early on, striking the post. He scored his first Eredivisie goal on 23 August, netting Telstar's second in a 2–2 draw with FC Volendam. A week later, he again scored the second goal as Telstar recorded a 2–0 away win over PSV, a result widely described as a major upset.
