In an early season scoop, VOC have confirmed the signing of Dutch international Pieter Seelaar. The former Hermes DVS skipper will take on a coaching role at the VOC Academy alongside playing for the first team. With Seelaar's excellent all-round performances last season, VOC has secured itself a proven Topklasse performer.

Hermes will be sad to see the loss of their inspirational skipper, 13 years on from his debut for them, which incidentally was against VOC.
