About Kenneth Vermeer

Kenneth Harold Vermeer (born 10 January 1986) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Tweede Divisie club GVVV. After graduating from the Ajax Youth Academy, Vermeer played for Jong Ajax, Willem II on loan, and the Ajax first team, with which he won four consecutive national titles from 2010 to 2014. He is the current Dutch national team record holder for longest streak in goal without conceding in a match, having never conceded a goal while playing for the first team of the Netherlands. Vermeer has kept clean sheets against Germany, Estonia, Romania, Indonesia, and Spain. In the 2006–07 season, Vermeer became Ajax's third keeper, making his first team debut in a UEFA Cup match against Start. Vermeer's opportunities in the first squad were limited due to the presence of Maarten Stekelenburg and Dennis Gentenaar, so Vermeer was loaned out for the 2007–08 season to Willem II to gain Eredivisie experience.
