Maceo Rigters (born 22 January 1984) is a Dutch former professional footballer who played as a striker for SC Heerenveen, Dordrecht, NAC Breda and Willem II in the Netherlands, for Blackburn Rovers, Norwich City and Barnsley in England, and for Gold Coast United in Australia.

[2][3] He made his first official appearance for Blackburn Rovers in a UEFA Intertoto Cup match against Lithuanian club FK Vėtra on 22 July 2007 as a second-half substitute replacing Benni McCarthy in the 65th minute.

His first start came on 30 August against Finnish club, MyPa, in a UEFA Cup first-round match, and he made his Premier League debut on 29 September.

However, in only his second substitute appearance for the club on 29 March, during a home defeat to Bristol City, Rigters lasted just fifteen minutes as he sustained a torn hamstring, and he subsequently returned to Blackburn for treatment.

Rigters had made only one pre-season appearance in a friendly with Phoenix, scoring the consolation goal in a 5–1 loss at home to 2010-11 A-League Champions, Brisbane Roar.

[11] He was called up by under-21 team coach Foppe de Haan as a last minute addition to the squad for the 2007 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship on the eve of the tournament which was held in the Netherlands.

Rigters scored the third goal, his fourth of the tournament, which put him ahead of England's Leroy Lita and gave him the Golden Boot as top scorer.
