Paul Johannes Gerardus Verhaegh (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈpʌul vərˈɦaːx]; born 1 September 1983) is a Dutch former professional footballer. He played as a right back.[2]

Club career

Verhaegh began his career at PSV Eindhoven, making 33 league appearances while on loan at AGOVV Apeldoorn. He then moved to FC Den Bosch in 2004, making 32 league appearances, before finally moving to Vitesse after the 2004–05 season.[3] After four years, he left Vitesse Arnhem and signed a two-year contract with FC Augsburg on 27 May 2010.

After having spent seven years with FC Augsburg, Verhaegh switched to VfL Wolfsburg, after agreeing to a two-year deal.[4] In April 2019, it was announced that Verhaegh has been released by the club with immediate effect.[5]

On 5 June 2019, Dutch club FC Twente signed Verhaegh on a one-year contract with the club following a medical.[2] Verhaegh announced his retirement on 3 June 2020.[6]
