Ten Heuvel signs for Sheffield united

10 July 2002

Stormvogels/Telstar's top scorer Laurens ten Heuvel has signed a contract for two years with English First Division side Sheffield United. After a shaky start to last season on arriving in Velsen from Amsterdam's amateurs DCG Ten Heuvel began putting away the goals that eventually attracted the attentions of Roda JC, Willem II and Sheffield United with "The Blades" finally winning the battle for his signature and goal-scoring services. He's made Telstar history by equalling the club record for goals in one season set by Ronald Hoop and now moves across the channel to try his luck in England for the second time after an earlier adventure with Barnsley.

PSV continue their policy of signing homegrown Dutch talent with their latest addition, Stormvogels/Telstar's Arvin Smid, although the 21 year-old midfielder has yet to agree personal terms. The Ere Divisie champions signed up RKC's Michael Lamey, Emmen's Jelle ten Rouwelaar and Groningen's Arjen Robben last season before hiring them back to their 'old' clubs in order to let them ripen before calling them up for duty in Eindhoven. It's most likely they'll do the same with Smid who's already played 65 games for Telstar, scoring 8 goals and was also targeted by Italian Serie A side Bologna last season.

Telstar contract for Ten Heuvel  04 Sept 2001 Laurens ten Heuvel has impressed Telstar so much since he joined them during the summer from amateurs DCG that the club want to offer him a professional contract. The 25 year-old has become striker-of-choice, since Sergio Ommel's departure for Icelandic side FC Reykjavic, but is still having to work for his living (delivering sandwiches!) alongside his footballing duties. Telstar would prefer to see him saving his energy for scoring goals!  First Division Roundup 25 Aug 2001 On Saturday:Zwolle beat Telstar 2 - 1.Slot put the home team ahead  after an hour's play but Holwijn equalized leaving Slot to put another ball past Verzeijlberg (in his debut)for the 2 - 1.

Stormvogels Telstar sign amateur 09 July 2001 The newly fused Stormvogels Telstar Combinatie have signed amateur Nico Scheffer for a year. The 18 year-old comes from Sunday amateur side DEM in Beverwijk. Sander Oostrom stays with Telstar 08 July 2001 We ran a story a few days ago that Sander Oostrm and Telstar had parted company but it seems that they've reached agreement after all - his contract has been extended for 1 year. Oostrom and Telstar end negotiations 02 July 2001 The contract negotiations between Telstar and Sander Oostrom have been terminated and the deal is off. Paul de Lange or Germain Levant will probably be the most likely candidates to replace him. The Ijmuiden team have managed to hire 20 year-old striker Henry Bakker from Volendam - he  will, along with another recent acquisition Laurens ten Heuvel, be filling the gap left by the departed Sergio Ommel (SC Reijkjavik) and Michel van Oostrum (Emmen).  Telstar merge with Stormvogels 29 June 2001 Telstar have been given the legal go-ahead by the courts in Utrecht to merge with amateur side Stormvogels as of July 1st. In 1963 the professional wings of Stormvogels and another amateur side, VSV, had merged and started to football under the name Telstar. The same VSV felt slighted by this latest merger and tried to block it through the courts - without success! Telstar's Sergio Ommel off to Iceland 26 June 2001 Sergio Ommel is off to Iceland - the 23 year-old striker has signed up with SC Reykjavik to play out the rest of the 'arctic' season. His new club play in the preliminary rounds of the Champions League in July and the Icelandic league itself continues throughout the summer, ending in October. Whether Sergio will stay in Iceland or move on when the season's over remains to be seen. Telstar sign Laurence ten Heuvel 26 June 2001 Telstar have added former Ajax, FC Den Bosch, Barnsley and Casino Vienna striker Laurence ten Heuvel to their squad.

After the break Nenad Bjekovic scored a 2nd in the 57th, Arvid Smit getting one back for the home team and Rolf Landerl making the final score 1 - 3.
