Kik Pierie (born 20 July 2000) is a professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for club Excelsior. Born in the United States, Pierie represented the Netherlands at international level.
Pierie started his professional career with SC Heerenveen, where he played three seasons with the club. He scored his first goal in a 3-5 loss vs. Feyenoord on 26 August 2018.[2]
In April 2019, it was announced Pierie would join Ajax in the summer of 2019 having agreed a five-year contract. The transfer fee paid to SC Heerenveen was reported as at least €4 million.[3] [4]
On 16 July 2020, Pierie joined FC Twente on a season-long loan deal, having mostly appeared for the Ajax reserve team, Jong Ajax, during the previous season.[5]
On 21 May 2021, it was announced that Pierie's loan would be extended for another season.[6]
On 30 November 2022, Pierie agreed to join Excelsior on loan for the second part of the 2022–23 season.[7]
On 11 July 2023, Pierie signed a two-year contract with Excelsior, parting ways with Ajax, for the club from Kralingen, ahead of the 2023–24 Eredivisie season.[8]
Since he was born in Boston, Pierie is eligible to represent the United States national team, but he has represented the Netherlands at various youth levels.
His father is former Dutch field hockey player, professor of Endoscopic Surgery at University Medical Center Groningen.[9] When Kik was born, Jean-Pierre worked at the Harvard Medical School.[10] His younger brothers Take and Stijn Pierie were footballers too.[11] [12]
