Judge-builder Versteegden also played for Hasselt last season and previously played for LIONS and Sittardia. He was tipped off by Meinicke, who was told during conversations with the club that there was a vacancy on the right-hand side. “After a conversation with the club and the trainer, I got more and more excited about this new adventure,” explains Versteegden. “Richard and I are somewhat in the same situation: the social career is becoming increasingly important, but we still want to continue to play handball at a high level. At Handball Houten we can combine this nicely.”
