Stijn Wuytens (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈstɛin ˈʋœytə(n)s]; born 8 October 1989) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as a centre back for AZ in the Eredivisie.

Club career

Wuytens began his career at K.R.C. Genk, before being transferred to the PSV Eindhoven-youth division in 2001. Wuytens made his senior debut for PSV in the 2008 Johan Cruijff-schaal XIII match against Feyenoord Rotterdam. On 2 February 2009, he was loaned out to De Graafschap until the end of the season, before returning to PSV. On 12 June 2012, it was announced that he would switch to the Belgian team K. Beerschot A.C. for the next season.

AZ

In the winter break of the 2015/16 season, Wuytens transferred to AZ Alkmaar. Here he was set up as a central defender by trainer John van den Brom, with Ron Vlaar at his side. The following season, Wuytens made his first goal for AZ, in an away match against FK Vojvodina in the Europa League. Wuytens also made his second goal in the Europa League for AZ on September 15, 2016. This time, he scored in a home game against the Irish Dundalk FC. While scoring, he came into direct contact with Dundalk goalkeeper Gary Rogers. It turned out that Wuytens was unconscious for a moment, swallowed his tongue and suffered a concussion.

Personal life

Stijn Wuytens is the brother of Dries Wuytens who plays professionally for Sektzia Nes Tziona in Israel, and cousin of ex-AZ player Jan Wuytens[1]
