Uriel van Aalst

Uriël van Aalst was born in Veldhoven. He spent his early years at Lommel SK across the Belgian border before his family moved back to the Netherlands. A trial at PSV followed, but it was Willem II who signed him, and he entered the club's academy with the O11s in 2016.

Van Aalst worked his way through the Tilburg club's youth ranks, including a spell with the O21 side, before he was handed his first-team debut. He came on in a KNVB Cup tie against VV Noordwijk in December 2024, a first taste of senior football that led the club to reward him with his first professional contract, signed through to 2028. He went on to make his Eredivisie debut for Willem II during the same season.

That campaign ended in relegation, as Willem II dropped out of the Eredivisie into the Eerste Divisie. The setback came early in his senior career, with his appearances at the top level so far limited.
