Career

Dordrecht

Vet played youth football for Xanthos, FC Abcoude, Zeeburgia, Ajax and AFC, and came to FC Dordrecht in the Eerste Divisie in 2013.[1] He made his debut on 2 August 2013, when he was in the starting lineup for the 2–1 win against MVV Maastricht as a replacement for the injured Wilmer Kousemaker.[2] On 20 October, he scored his first goal against Almere City, as his club won 0–2 win. He made 23 appearances in the season in which Dordrecht were promoted to the Eredivisie. On 9 August 2014, Vet played his first match in the highest Dutch football league; in the 90th minute of the game against SC Heerenveen he replaced Joris van Overeem.[3] This game remained the only appearance of that season and he was left without a club in January 2015 after Dordrecht terminated his contract.[4]

Almere City

A month later, Vet signed a contract with Almere City.[5] [6] In both 2016 and 2017, he received a one-year contract extension, which would extend his contract until mid-June 2018. Ultimately, Vet came to 81 appearances for Almere in three-and-a-half years, in which he scored two goals.[7]

De Graafschap

After his contract with Almere, Vet moved to De Graafschap, where he signed a two-year contract.[8] In his first season with the club, he was relegated from the Eredivisie. A year later, the club was close to direct promotion, until the competition was shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 55 games for the Superboeren, Vet scored seven times.

NEC

On 29 September 2020, Vet signed a one-year contract with NEC for the 2020–21 season, with an option for another season included in the contract.[9] On 23 May 2021, Vet won promotion to the Eredivisie with NEC by beating NAC Breda 2–1 in the final of the play-offs.[10] At NEC, Vet played in a more attacking role than usual, which gave him his most productive season hitherto.[11] [12] He scored eight goals in all competitions.

NAC

On 12 August 2022, Vet joined NAC Breda.[13]
