[edit] Club career
[edit] Early career
Sno came through the youth system at AFC Ajax but left to join Feyenoord at the age of eighteen. He didn't play any first-team games during his time at Feyenoord but he was loaned out to NAC Breda during the 2005–06 season, where he made his name.
[edit] Celtic
Sno signed for Scottish Premier League side Celtic from Feyenoord of the Netherlands in 2006. At the time he was considered one of the most promising youth prospects in the world.[2] He made his full debut in a League Cup 3rd Round victory over St Mirren, drawing praise from his manager for his performance [3] and made his Old Firm debut during Celtic's 2–0 defeat of Rangers on 23 September 2006, replacing Shunsuke Nakamura during the latter stages of the match.[4] In November 2006, Sno scored his only goal for Celtic against Hibernian in an SPL game.[5] Sno went on to play in both legs of Celtic's Champions League last 16 defeat against AC Milan and at the end of the season collected an SPL winners medal after Celtic retained their title, a feat repeated in the 2007–08 season.
On signing for Celtic, it was widely reported in the media that Sno was named after the former Boxing World Heavyweight Champion, Evander Holyfield.[6]
[edit] Ajax
In August 2008 Sno re-joined Ajax, signing a 3 year contract.[7] He was sent off in his debut match against Willem II Tilburg, although his red card was cleared by the KNVB.[8] After just one season he was demoted from the first team and would play for Jong Ajax.[9]
In August 2009, Sno had joined English club Bristol City on loan for the remainder of the 2009–10 season, making his debut as a substitute against Coventry City.[10] Sno scored his first goal for Bristol in a 3–2 win over Barnsley at Oakwell,[11] and rejoined Ajax at the season's end.
When set back to the reserves, Sno had to prove him self worth an Ajax' first squad member. On 13 September 2010 while playing a match with Ajax' reserves against Vitesse/AGOVV reserves, Sno suffered a heart attack.[12] He was resuscitated, it took the paramedics ten minutes to resuscitate Sno on the pitch and was then taken to a hospital in Arnhem.[12] It is expected that a long period of recovery is going to lie ahead, he marked his return by appearing in a reserve friendly on 11 November 2010, No direct cause for the heart attack could be found and as a precaution he had an internal cardiac defibrillator placed inside his body.[13][14]
After his contract with Ajax expired, Sno found an agreement with Italian Serie A club Genoa; the move was however canceled at the last minute after the player failed his medical.[15]
