Output in context · ADO Den Haag finished 1st of 20 · a title-challenging side
2.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 38.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 56.9, Ruijter carries the 8th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eerste Divisie (top 13%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
