Nordin Bakker (born 31 October 1997) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Eredivisie club Almere City.[2]

Club career

[edit]

Fortuna Wormerveer

[edit]

Bakker first made a mark in indoor football at sixteen, impressing at FC Kondo Budjang before moving to sixth-tier Eerste Klasse club Fortuna Wormerveer.[3] In 2017, he had trials with PSV and Ajax, but chose to stay at Wormerveen for the remainder for the season.[4]

Volendam

[edit]

Ahead of the 2018–19 season, Bakker signed a one-year contract with an option for an additional season with Volendam, joining the competition with Jordi van Stappershoef and Mitchel Michaelis to replace the departing Hobie Verhulst.[5] He was initially a backup, mainly playing for the reserve team Jong Volendam in the Derde Divisie. On 1 December 2018, he scored his first ever goal, after a wind-assisted drop kick intended for striker Martijn Kaars sailed over the opposing goalkeeper and secured a 4–4 draw in 93rd minute against Quick '20.[6][7]

Bakker only made his Eerste Divisie debut for the Volendam first team on 7 December 2018 in a game against Twente as a 10th-minute substitute for injured Michaelis.[8]

Due to Van Stappershoef's departure to Bristol Rovers and another injury to Michaelis, Bakker became the first-choice goalkeeper for Volendam in the 2019–20 season, appearing in all matches.[2] In the following season, he competed for the starting spot with Joey Roggeveen, who ended up playing one match fewer than Bakker.[9] At the end of the season, Volendam decided not to renew the expiring contracts of both goalkeepers.[10]

Beroe Stara Zagora

[edit]

On 23 June 2021, Bakker joined Bulgarian First League club Beroe Stara Zagora.[10] He made his debut for the club on 23 July, the opening day of the season, keeping a clean sheet in a 1–0 victory over Lokomotiv Sofia.[11] He made eight appearances for the club, before losing his starting spot in September 2021 to Hennadiy Hanyev.[12] He was released in January 2022 due to financial problems at Staroe.[1]

Almere City

[edit]

On 28 January 2022, Bakker signed a six-month contract with Almere City with an option to extend.[1] He made his debut for De Zwarte Schapen two days later, replacing the injured Agil Etemadi in the 16th minute of a 0–0 league draw against Telstar.[13] After his debut, he held on to his position as the starting goalkeeper, impressing with multiple clean sheets.[14] On 8 March, the club exercised the option in his contract, keeping him in Almere until 2023.[15]

The club announced on 17 May 2023, that Bakker's contract had been extended by another two years, keeping him in Almere until 2025.[16] With Bakker in goal, Almere secured promotion to the Eredivisie for the first time in the 2022–23 after beating Emmen 4–1 in the play-off finals.[17]
