Delano van Crooij (born 5 June 1991) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for club VVV-Venlo.
Born in Venlo, Van Crooij played in the VVV-Venlo youth system and joined FC Zwolle in 2011 as their third goalkeeper.[1] He was released by Zwolle a year later and had a trial with Bulgarian side Etar Tarnovo, while playing for amateur side Kwiek Venlo.[2] That did not materialize and after two years at Deurne, he chose to rejoin VVV over a move to SC Gestel.[3] On 24 October 2020, he conceded 13 goals in 13–0 loss against Ajax as VVV-Venlo's goalkeeper, which is a negative record in Holland.[4]
On 22 September 2022, Van Crooij signed a one-season contract with Sparta Rotterdam.[5]
On 30 January 2024, Van Crooij returned to VVV-Venlo on loan.[6] On 18 June, the deal was made permanent as Van Crooij signed a one-year contract with the club.[7]
He is Vito van Crooij's older brother.[8]
