Career

Maatsen made his début, in the opening game of the season, when he came on as a substitute in the 72nd minute in a 2–0 loss against Feyenoord. In numbers of games, Maatsen would mostly come on the bench as a substitute. In a match against Twente, on 2 October 2011, Mastsen came on as a substitute in the 82nd minutes and with eight minutes remaining until full-time, Maatsen scored twice to make a comeback in a 2–2 draw.[1] Later in the 2011–12 season, Maatsen would score three more goals against Ajax,[2] NAC Breda[3] and VVV-Venlo,[4] to add a tally to his Excelsior career, but the club was relegated to Eerste Divisie, having finished eighteenth place with nineteenth points. Despite the relegation, his performance attracted interests from Polish side Lech Poznań.[5]

In 2012–13 season, Maatsen started to play on the right wing mostly, though sometimes on the left, or even as a striker, making twenty-eight appearances in all competitions.

After just three minutes of the opening match of the season, away to Celtic, he scored with a powerful shot from the edge of the penalty area that went in off the crossbar with goalkeeper Fraser Forster well beaten; Ross County lost 2–1.[7] It was awarded "goal of the week" by The Terrace Scottish Football Podcast.[8] However, Mattsen's first team opportunities was soon limited and made only made ten appearance after suffering ankle injury that kept him out for the most of the season.[9]

The 2014-15 season saw Maatsen's playing time continued to be reduced, even though he scored two goals this season against Dundee[10] and Dundee United.[11] By the time Maatsen made seven appearance and scored two times, Maatsen was released by Ross County on 2 February 2015.[12]

He signed with Dutch Eerste Divisie side FC Den Bosch on the same day.[13] Six days later on 9 February 2015, Maatsen made his Den Bosch debut, coming on as a substitute for Jort van der Sande in the 83rd minutes, in a 2-0 win over Emmen.[14] Maatsen scored four days later after his debut, in a 5-1 win over Helmond Sport.[15] On the last game of the season, Maatsen scored in as 3-3 draw against Almere City.[16] Maatsen went on to make sixteen appearance and scoring times in Maatsen's half of the season at Den Bosch.
