Hidde Willem ter Avest (born 20 May 1997) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Eredivisie club Utrecht.[1]
Club career[edit]
Twente[edit]
Ter Avest began his football journey at SVZW Wierden before joining the Twente academy at age eleven. His leadership skills shone as he captained various youth teams. In 2013, he signed a three-year development contract with Twente.[6]
His debut for the reserve team Jong FC Twente came on 22 August 2014, against Almere City in the second-tier Eerste Divisie, securing a starting position.[7] Later that year, on 17 December, he made his first-team debut, replacing Orlando Engelaar in a cup match against De Graafschap. He officially joined Twente's squad in February 2015, marking his Eredivisie debut as a starter against Excelsior on 7 February, despite a 3–1 loss.[8]
Becoming a regular starter from the 2015–16 season onward, Ter Avest even took on the captain's role on occasions during the 2017–18 season in the absence of Stefan Thesker and Danny Holla.[9] Unfortunately, during a match against Utrecht on 25 February 2018, he sustained a fractured ankle, ending his season prematurely.[10] This injury was compounded by the team's relegation to the Eerste Divisie at the end of that season after finishing bottom of the Eredivisie.[11]
Udinese[edit]
On 15 June 2018, Ter Avest inked a four-year deal with Serie A club Udinese.[12] He made his debut for the club on 20 October 2018 during the match against Genoa, where he replaced Valon Behrami in the 63rd minute of a 2–2 draw.
After seeing reduced playing time with Udinese, he was allowed to leave on a free transfer in January 2021.[13] At that point, he had made 42 total appearances for the club.[1]
Utrecht[edit]
On 13 January 2021, Ter Avest signed a contract with Eredivisie club Utrecht until 2024.[14]
International career[edit]
Ter Avest was a member of the Netherlands U17 national team beaten on penalties by England in the final of the 2014 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.
Style of play[edit]
A formidable right-back known for his strong personality, Ter Avest possesses a solid individual technique and remarkable speed. Exceptionally adept in defense, he excels in advancing play and executing precise man-marking. His prowess in aerial duels also allows versatility, enabling him to perform effectively as a centre-back.[15][16][17]
