Nordin Amrabat, a former Watford and Hull midfielder, has set a new record for Utrecht in the Eredivisie. The 39-year-old Moroccan made his 90th appearance in the league this weekend, becoming the oldest outfield player to play for the Dutch side. Amrabat came off the bench during Utrecht's 2-1 victory over FC Twente, playing 23 minutes for the club.
Having last played in the Dutch top flight in January 2011, Amrabat's return to Utrecht marks a significant milestone in his career. Initially playing for PSV, Amrabat later moved to Türkiye and Spain before returning to England with Watford. After spending time in Greece and Turkey, Amrabat joined Wydad Casablanca in Morocco, where he played 36 games last season.
Now back with Utrecht, Amrabat has started a new chapter in his career, helping the team secure three wins in their last five games.
