PEC Zwolle have announced the signing of experienced defender Nick Viergever from Utrecht on a free transfer. The defender, who was captain of Utrecht at time, has signed a one year deal to remain in the Eredivisie and join up with PEC Zwolle. Viergever leaves Utrecht after four years and narrowly missed out on helping the side return to European football last season, with Utrecht losing out to Ajax in the play off final.
In Viergever, PEC Zwolle get an experienced defender that should help them next season. The 36-year-old has only spent one season away from Dutch football in his career, playing for the likes of Sparta Rotterdam, AZ Alkmaar, Ajax and PSV. That one year abroad was for Greuther Fürth during the 2021/2022 season when the side played in the Bundesliga. After just one year he returned to Dutch football to play for Utrecht. While advancing in years, Viergever still has plenty to offer his new club, having still managed to play 41 matches for Utrecht last season.
