Stefano Denswil, a 33-year-old Suriname international and former Ajax and Club Brugge defender, has begun pre-season with FC Volendam to maintain his fitness after his contract with Kayserispor in Turkey expired this summer. There is a possibility he could play for the Eredivisie-degradant this season. Speaking to a regional broadcaster, the team's trainer, Erwin van de Looi, commented that Denswil is not on trial, adding that a player with his significant career does not need to prove himself. The defender made 31 appearances and scored one goal in the Süper Lig last season and has 15 caps for his country. His current valuation on Transfermarkt is €700k.
