W. Kooy is a 21-year-old full-back at Jong Utrecht, rated 51.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 24th of 192 on scout potential in the Eerste Divisie and 305th of 1748 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (42.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.63 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kooy.

Judged on this season alone, Kooy graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 23rd of 34 of the 34 full-backs in the Eerste Divisie, on 1 clean sheet and 3.625 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 23 → 12). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 52, top 21% of the 34 full-backs in the Eerste Divisie. At 21 Kooy is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 13.8 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 8 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.38 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 3.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 42.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 51.9, Kooy carries the 7th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eerste Divisie of 34 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
