Four Pinoké players sign contract extensions
Pinoké has extended the contracts of Boris Aardenburg, Jacob Draper, Joppe Stappenbelt and Hidde Brink on an interim basis. The foursome will remain linked to the club from Amstelveen for several seasons.
The four have been playing at Pinoké for several seasons and have enjoyed several sporting highlights both individually and as a team. Besides winning the national title in 2023 and the EHL last year, goalkeeper Brink and striker Aardenburg have been able to make the step up to the Dutch national team.
'We are very happy with this series of extensions,' assistant coach Balder Bomans told the club's website. 'Boris and Hidde have both had a great development at Pinoké, resulting in a step to the Dutch national team. Joppe has been an integral part of our selection since his arrival from the youth team and Jacob is a player who fits Pinoké perfectly: on a sporting level, but also as a person. We are pleased that we have been able to commit them to Pinoké for several seasons'.
