Romeo Castelen (born 3 May 1983) is a Dutch footballer who plays as a right winger.

After competing in his country with Den Haag (four seasons) and Feyenoord (three), he joined Hamburger SV in Germany, where he all but failed to appear over the course of five years, due to several injuries.

Club career

Den Haag

Born in Paramaribo, Suriname, Castelen started his professional career with ADO Den Haag, playing two full seasons in the second division. He made his first-team debut at not yet 18, and contributed with nine goals in 24 games in 2002–03 as the club returned to the Eredivisie, as champions.

Castelen made his top level debut on 16 August 2003, in a 0–1 away loss against RKC Waalwijk. He only missed six matches during the season as The Hague side narrowly avoided relegation (15th position).

Feyenoord

Castelen moved to Feyenoord for the 2004–05 season, making his official debut for his new team on 15 August, and scoring a brace in a 6–1 home win against De Graafschap. He netted 19 goals in his first two seasons with the Rotterdam outfit combined, as the club finished fourth and third respectively.

Together with Salomon Kalou and Dirk Kuyt, Castelen was part of an efficient Feyenoord attack.[1] He only appeared in 23 games in his second year however, due to injury.

Castelen could only amass 12 league matches in 2006–07 due to an ankle ailment, as Feyenoord finished in seventh position. On 22 April 2007, he scored his only game of the season, in a 1–1 home draw against NEC Nijmegen.

Hamburger SV

Castelen was declared fit prior to the start of 2007–08, with his contract expiring at the end of that season. He was offered a new deal, but denied to sign it after deeming his future at the club as not very bright due to its recent results. However, when players like Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Kevin Hofland and Roy Makaay were signed, he reconsidered, but eventually agreed on terms with Hamburger SV from Germany in late July 2007, signing a four-year contract;[1] he appeared in 79 official games for Feyenoord, scoring 21 goals.

Castelen made his Bundesliga debut on 11 August 2007, playing seven minutes in a 1–0 away win against Hannover 96. During his spell at the Volksparkstadion, however, he was massacred with constant injury problems.[2][3] This led to him only making a handful of appearances for years on end until 2012 when HSV decided to not give him a new contract.

International career

Castelen's solid beginnings with Feyenoord impressed newly-appointed Dutch national team manager Marco van Basten, and the player made his debut with the Oranje on 18 August 2004, starting in a 2–2 friendly draw in Sweden. His physical condition, however, denied him a spot in the squad for the 2006 FIFA World Cup.

Also in 2006, Castelen helped the under-21 team win the UEFA European Football Championship in Portugal.
