[edit] Club career
[edit] Early Career
Hoekstra started his career at PSV Eindhoven where he played for 5 years. Ajax Amsterdam signed him for £2m in 1996 to replace Marc Overmars. Injuries halted his career at Ajax and he was loaned out to Spanish side SD Compostela and Dutch side Groningen in 2000.
[edit] Stoke City
Hoekstra signed for English Division Two side Stoke City in August 2001.[1] Hoekstra's skill caused problems for many defences and he was often subject to heavy tackles.[2] He often produced his most eye catching displays for Stoke against Reading.[3][4] He retired in 2004.
He was voted as the best Stoke player to play in the first ten years at the Britannia Stadium in 2008.[5] He is now a youth coach at FC Groningen with whom he made a visit to Stoke with in April 2011.[6]

Hoekstra made his debut for the Netherlands on 24 April 1996 in a friendly against Germany (0-1) in Rotterdam. He was then selected to play for Holland in the 1996 European Championship in England. Hoekstra played 5 times for his country, without scoring a goal.
