Rick Stuy van den Herik (born 19 June 1993) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for SteDoCo.
A former talent of Sparta Rotterdam, Stuy van den Herik failed to break through to their first team; something which also did not happen at NAC Breda.
Born in the German city of Solingen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Stuy van den Herik grew up in his home country in Sliedrecht.
[1] Stuy van den Herik soon caught the eye of larger clubs, and at the age of seven – two years after starting his footballing career – Sparta Rotterdam signed him to their youth academy.
[1] After some strong years in the youth of Sparta, where Stuy van den Herik was selected for the Netherlands national under-16 and under-17 teams, enthusiasm around him waned.
[1] In 2014, Stuy van den Herik chose to sign with FC Oss in the Eerste Divisie, the second tier of Dutch football.
