Jeroen van Wetten (2 January 1980) is a Dutch former professional footballer who played as a forward.

Football career

ADO Den Haag and RBC Roosendaal

As a professional, Van Wetten played one season for ADO Den Haag (2000–01) and two seasons for RBC Roosendaal (2001–03). The last season at RBC, when Van Wetten played the most league games in his professional career, RBC played in the Eredivisie. For RBC, Van Wetten was especially valuable in the KNVB Cup, scoring three goals. In 2003, Van Wetten negotiated a transfer with Íþróttabandalag Vestmannaeyja from Iceland. The sides did not come to an agreement.[1]

Noordwijk, DOTO, ASWH and BVV

Van Wetten continued to VV Noordwijk (2003–05)[2] and DOTO Pernis (2005–07). On 26 August 2006, Van Wetten scoared the 80th minute sole and decisive goal in a DOTO 2006–07 KNVB Cup game against GVVV.[3] It brought DOTO to play against FC Twente in the next round, a game it lost 7–1.

Subsequently Van Wetten played for ASWH (2007–08)[4] and BVV Barendrecht (2008–12). From Barendrecht, Van Wetten considered a 2011 return to RBC that had gone bankrupt and attempted to restart in the Hoofdklasse.[5] The restart fell through that year and Van Wetten finished his football career the next summer in Barendrecht instead. Overall, Van Wetten scored 3 goals over 19 league games for BVV.

Later career and personal life

Van Wetten was born in Leiderdorp. Subsequent to his football career, Van Wetten worked as a business intelligence professional.
