About Tim de Cler

Tim de Cler is a Dutch former professional footballer who played as a left-back for Ajax, AZ, Feyenoord and AEK Larnaca. At age six, De Cler joined his first football team, amateur side Lugdunum. At Ajax, De Cler played at first as a left winger, but eventually he was positioned as a left-back when he reached the A-level in youth football. That season, Ajax won both the Eredivisie and the KNVB Cup, and although these were De Cler's first official trophies, there were mixed feelings due to his injury.
