A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (37.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.2 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Riet.

Judged on this season alone, Riet graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 28th of 34 of the 34 full-backs in the Eerste Divisie, on 1 clean sheet and 3.204 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 17 → 10). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 52, top 6% of the 34 full-backs in the Eerste Divisie. At 20 Riet is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 13 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 9 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 37.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 51.7, Riet carries the 2nd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eerste Divisie of 34 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
