Club career
Hoekstra started his career at PSV Eindhoven where he played for 5 years, making over 100 appearances for the club. Ajax Amsterdam signed him for £2m in 1996 to replace Marc Overmars. Injuries halted his career at Ajax and he was loaned out to Spanish side SD Compostela in 1999 and Dutch side FC Groningen in 2000.
Hoekstra made a total of 68 league appearances in 5 years with
2002 play-off final. He scored three goals that season against Notts County and twice against Chesterfield.[3][4] In 2002–03 Stoke battled against relegation from the First Division and Hoekstra's experience proved to be a vital asset, playing in 33 matches scoring five goals including a brace against Watford and a winning goal against Preston North End.[5] In 2003–04 Hoekstra played 27 times scoring four goals including a hat-trick against Reading.[6]
In May 2004, aged just 31, he was forced to retire due to a buildup of injuries.
He was voted as the best Stoke player to play in the first ten years at the
Britannia Stadium in 2008.[7] He is now a youth coach at FC Groningen with whom he made a visit to Stoke in April 2011.[8]
International career
Hoekstra made his debut for the
1996 European Championship
in England. Hoekstra played 5 times for his country, without scoring a goal.
