Club career

Early years

Born in The Hague, Dekker joined the ADO Den Haag youth academy as a seven-year-old from RVC/Rijswijk, and progressed through the youth teams. On 13 March 2014, he signed his first professional contract with ADO.[1]

VVV-Venlo

Two years later, on 29 June 2016, Dekker joined VVV-Venlo on a two-year contract with an option for an additional season,[2] reuniting him with former ADO manager Maurice Steijn.[3] On 12 August 2016, aged 18, Dekker made his professional debut in a 2–1 away win over MVV Maastricht in the Eerste Divisie, replacing Torino Hunte in the 89th minute.[4]

In September 2017, Dekker was sidelined for several months with appendicitis that kept him sidelined for months.[5] At the end of March 2018, the club opted to extend his contract to 2019.[6]

In May 2019, the two parties agreed on a new two-year contract,[7] and at the end of March 2021, VVV terminated his expiring contract,[8] but after suffering relegation from the Eredivisie in May 2021, the club reopened negotiations. With an offer from fellow relegation candidate Emmen, Dekker signed a new two-year deal with VVV on 5 July 2021.[9]

In the 2021–22 season, his sixth season for VVV, Dekker scored his first goal in professional football. During a 2–1 away loss to Volendam on 17 September 2021, he completed a solo-run with a strike from distance which found the back of the net.[10] On 13 February 2022, Dekker broke his fibula in a home derby against Roda JC Kerkrade after a collision with Davy van den Berg, leaving him sidelined for months.[11]

On 11 November 2022, Dekker made his 100th league appearance for VVV in the 0–0 home draw against Willem II.[12] He left VVV at the end of the season, as his contract was not extended.[13]

International career

Dekker was born in the Netherlands to a Dutch father, and a South Korean mother.[14] He played four matches for the Netherlands U16.[15]
