Ferne Dean Snoyl (born 8 March 1985) is a Dutch former professional footballer who played as a left-back.

Club career

Snoyl started his professional career with Feyenoord, where he was considered a talented player but with disciplinary issues.[2] [3] He made his professional debut on 25 September 2003, starting in a 2–1 home win against FC Kärnten in the UEFA Cup.[4] [5] He was sent on loan to FC Den Bosch in the 2004–05 season to mature.[6] He returned to Feyenoord after the season, but lost out to Pascal Bosschaart to become the starter at left-back.[7] As a result, he was sent on a six-month loan to Scottish club Aberdeen in January 2006.[8]

After his loan ended, Snoyl signed a three-year contract with Eredivisie club NEC on 7 July 2006, reuniting him with former Feyenoord assistant coach, Mario Been.[9] After the first game of the 2007–08 season, Snoyl was axed from the squad by Been as he was deemed overweight.[10] As a result, NEC hired a dietician.[11] Snoyl regained fitness, and was eventually included in the first team again after a week. After several legal issues in October 2007, NEC announced on 7 November that Snoyl's contract had been terminated.[12] [13]

On 27 November 2007, Snoyl joined Eerste Divisie club RKC Waalwijk on a six-month contract, with an option for an additional year.[14] He made his debut for the club on 11 January 2008, coming on as a substitute in the 68th minute for Savvas Exouzidis in a 7–2 league win over Go Ahead Eagles.[15] His first start came four days later in a KNVB Cup match against HFC Haarlem, which saw RKC lose on penalties.[16] [17] On 29 April, the option in his contract was triggered and thus extended until 2009.[18]

Despite a successful stint with RKC, Snoyl chose not to extend his contract with the club, and instead signed a two-year deal with NAC Breda on 13 July 2009, where he was the intended successor of Patrick Mtiliga, who had moved to Málaga.[19] Again, he struggled with overweight and was demoted from the first team on 2 April 2010.[20] He left the club as his contract expired in 2011. NAC supporters had tauntingly held up a banner in his final game for the club referring to his overweight and chanted "Big Mac Snoyl".[21] [22]

A free agent, Snoyl had a successful trial with Hungarian club Újpest in September 2011,[23] and he signed a deal for the remainder of the 2011–12 season on 7 November.[24] He left the club on 12 January 2012,[25] and subsequently retired from professional football as a 27-year-old.

International career

Snoyl has been capped for various national youth teams, and participated in the 2001 UEFA European Under-16 Championship and 2002 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.[26]

Legal issues

On 20 February 2008, Snoyl was found guilty of assaulting his then-girlfriend 18 October 2007.[27] He was sentenced to 50 hours of community service.[28]

On 21 February 2022, Snoyl was named as a suspect in a major case involving drug distribution and trafficking, and had been charged by the Public Prosecution Service.[29] [30]

Personal life

Outside of football, Snoyl is a qualified tattoo artist and owns his own tattoo studio in The Hague.[31] Customers include Wout Weghorst, Kevin-Prince Boateng and Quincy Promes.[32]
