Ruben Schaken remains in a state of euphoria following the senior Feyenoord debut of his son, Jerayno Schaken. The teenager marked his first appearance with a goal during an away fixture against NEC Nijmegen.
An Emotional Debut at NEC Nijmegen
According to coverage from VoetbalPrimeur and FCUpdate, the young attacker capped off his introduction under the guidance of coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst by striking cleanly with his left foot. The moment prompted an emotional reaction from his father.
A Summer of Turbulence and Reinstatement
The milestone appearance arrives after a turbulent summer period surrounding the teenager’s status within the club.
Reports indicate that Ruben Schaken expressed dissatisfaction during the offseason. He alleged that Feyenoord had failed to honor previously established agreements.
Following intervention from his father, who insisted that the club restore the youngster to training sessions with the selectie, Jerayno logged three weeks of training with the squad before earning his competitive breakthrough.
Rare Two-Footed Traits and Technical Skill
According to his father’s assessment, the prospect possesses a blend of technical traits.

While Ruben Schaken revealed that his son is right-footed, he noted that Jerayno possesses exceptional proficiency with his left foot. That capability, combined with technique, courage and offensive threat, provides the younger Schaken with the tools to advance significantly in professional football.
Early Praise and National Team Radar
Despite the high praise, the family faces the immediate challenge of keeping the teenager grounded. Following his goal-scoring debut in Nijmegen, analysts and commentators quickly weighed in on his ceiling.
Notably, Perez remarked during post-match coverage on VoetbalPrimeur that the teenager already demonstrates qualities superior to the rest. He suggested that the current trajectory places the player in the vicinity of Oranje.
