Robbin Ruiter is not going to work for Ajax. Football International reports that, although the team from Amsterdam was ‘pleasurable’ about the fitness of the 34-year-old goalkeeper, they prefer ‘a keeper with more international experience’. Due to personnel problems in the goalkeepers’ guild, Ajax is looking for an emergency bandage.
Due to injuries to Maarten Stekelenburg, Remko Pasveer and Jay Gorter, André Onana is currently the only fit goalkeeper in Ajax’s selection. In the search for a temporary emergency bandage for this goalkeeper problem, the team from Amsterdam ended up at Ruiter, whose contract with Willem II was dissolved more than a month ago. Ruiter was tested on Thursday afternoon by Ajax, which would immediately make a decision a day later. However, the decision was postponed.
Ajax would have more options, including Przemyslaw Tyton. The 35-year-old Polish goalkeeper – active in the past for Roda JC Kerkrade and PSV, among others – is without a club after his contract with FC Cincinnati expired in January and is one of the options in the search for a “slightly more internationally experienced keeper”. ‘. That would also be the reason that Ajax has decided against the arrival of Ruiter.
“Robbin Ruiter is not going to Ajax. The team from Amsterdam was pleased with the fitness of the former Utrecht goalkeeper, but prefer a keeper with more international experience. Clarity is expected soon,” writes Stef de Bont, reporter for Football International, on Twitter. In the Netherlands, Ruiter successively kept for FC Volendam, FC Utrecht, PSV and Willem II. In between he made a trip to Sunderland. At the end of January, his contract with Willem II was terminated with immediate effect.
