Mike Jarno Maria te Wierik (born 8 June 1992) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Eerste Divisie club Emmen.
[6] On 6 February 2020 it was announced that te Wierik had signed a pre-contract agreement to join Derby County in the summer of 2020 when his contract with FC Groningen expires.
[8] Upon signing with the club, Derby County boss Phillip Cocu described him as "a good defender and a leader, which is demonstrated by the fact he is FC Groningen's captain, and he will be a very good signing for us.”[9] Te Wierik made his Derby debut in an EFL cup penalty-victory over Barrow Town and his league debut in a 0–2 defeat to Reading.
He was later dropped from the first team, with Derby boss Cocu explaining the decision because te Wierik needed some time to "get used" to Championship football.
[10] After the sacking of Cocu, te Wierik failed to make a match day squad under new interim manager Wayne Rooney, being behind a number of other players for first-team places.
