Anderlecht finds a solution for Hatenboer

Anderlecht rents Cedric Hatenboer to Telstar for the rest of the season. The number 15 from the Eredivisie was also able to enforce a purchase option.

The 20-year-old Dutch midfielder signed with Anderlecht last winter until 2029, but was immediately loaned to Excelsior. Last summer he returned to Anderlecht, but he was never able to fight his way into the main squad.

He also only played a handful of matches at the RSCA Futures, which compete in the Challenger Pro League. At Telstar, Hatenboer hopes to regain rhythm and confidence.
