Bob Schepers (born 30 March 1992) is a Dutch footballer who plays as a winger for Dutch lower league side Blauw Wit '34. Schepers represented the Netherlands U-17 team at the 2009 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship and the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup.
Club career
Born in Enschede, Schepers started the 2008–09 season in the youth of SC-Cambuur-Leeuwarden. On 24 February 2009, Schepers signed a three-year deal with the club.[2] He made his debut for Cambuur on 24 April 2009 in a 0–1 defeat against Dordrecht, coming on as a substitute for Sandor van der Heide.[3] He was close to a move to FC Groningen, however the move failed to materialise.[4] On 5 February 2010, he made his first appearance in the starting line-up in a 1–1 draw against AGOVV Apeldoorn.[5] Since then, Schepers established himself in the squad, being in the starting line-up against SBV Excelsior on 22 February 2010 and against RBC Roosendaal on 23 April 2010.[6][7]
In the 2010 summer transfer window, English Premier League club Everton F.C. tracked Schepers and arranged a trial for him. He was present at the pre-season fixture against Clyde.[8]
On 30 August 2011, Schepers joined Eredivisie side FC Utrecht on a three-year contract with an option to extend for further two years.[9] He returned to his former team Cambuur on a loan deal before the transfer window closed.
In June 2015, after his contract with Cambuur was not extended, Schepers moved to Topklasse side ONS Sneek. His ONS Sneek contract included a release clause allowing him to leave if a professional club would have registered him before 1 September.[10]
In May 2015, it was announced he would return to his youth club Blauw Wit '34.[11]
International career
Schepers was active at the 2009 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship for the Netherlands, playing as a left winger. Schepers was surprised he made the team stating that while he played for Cambuur, the other players all played for big clubs like Ajax, Feyenoord, and Arsenal.[4] In the group stages, Schepers came on as a substitute in the 2–1 victory over Turkey.[12] In the 2–1 semi-final victory over Switzerland, Schepers was in the starting line-up.[13] In the final against hosts Germany, Schepers again came on as a substitute, however they lost the match 1–2 after extra time.[14][15]
Schepers was also a member of the Dutch squad for the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Nigeria, although the team failed to progress beyond the group stage.[16] Schepers played two matches at the tournament, coming on as a substitute against Iran and Colombia.[17][18]
