Gleofilo Vlijter (born 17 September 1999) is a Surinamese footballer who currently plays in Israel for Beitar Jerusalem, and the Suriname national team.[1]

Club career

Vlijter started his career with S.V. Robinhood of the SVB Hoofdklasse, the highest level of football in Suriname. He was with the club since at least December 2013.[2] In May 2014, he was invited to a football clinic in Suriname sponsored by Chelsea FC.[3]

In January 2015, while a member of the Phoenix All Stars Football Academy in Jamaica, Vlijter traveled to Europe for the first time as he was invited to a trial with Belgian top-division club KRC Genk. At that time he received a letter of recommendation from the club to apply for a visa.[4] However, a deal with that club and another with K.V. Oostende fell through and the player returned to Suriname.[5]

In October 2016 it was announced that Vlijter and fellow Surinamese youth international Ayad Godlieb were on trial with Feyenoord Rotterdam of the Dutch Eredivisie. It was expected that they would be signed to a contract with the club's academy in January 2017 if they could acquire work visas.[6] The pair of players first trialed with the club in September 2016 while still playing for S.V. Robinhood in Suriname.[7]

On 9 January 2018 he signed for the youth team of Ironi Kiryat Shmona for the remainder of the season with a club option for further three years.[8]

After one season with the Israeli club in which he was primarily a member of the reserve team he signed for FC Torpedo Kutaisi of the Georgian Erovnuli Liga. He joined as the team was preparing to enter the preliminary round of the 2018–19 UEFA Champions League.[9]

In August 2019 it was announced that Vlijter had signed a two-year contract with Aris Limassol FC of the Cypriot Second Division.[10] In his first unofficial match with Aris Limassol, he scored a hat-trick against AEZ. He made his league debut for Aris in a 0–1 loss to Alki Oroklini.[11]

On 4 August 2020 signed a 3-year deal with Israeli Premier League club Beitar Jerusalem.[12]

International career

Vlijter represented Suriname at the U15[2] and U16 levels.[3] During a U15 tournament held in French Guiana in late 2013, he was identified by the coaching staff as one of four players who impressed the most.[13] He made his senior international debut at age 15 on 30 April 2015 in a friendly against Guyana.[14]
