Thomas Jacco Verheydt (born 24 January 1992) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a forward for Turkish TFF First League club Çorum.
Verheydt began his senior career in the Dutch lower leagues, gaining prominence with Jodan Boys and IJsselmeervogels due to his goalscoring ability.
Born in The Hague and after youth spells with Wilhelmus, Feyenoord and ADO Den Haag, Verheydt joined Topklasse side Jodan Boys in 2012,[2] making his debut during their 2–1 victory over IJsselmeervogels, in which he scored in the 39th minute.
[5] A month later, Verheydt registered his first goal for the club, during IJsselmeervogels' 1–1 home draw with HHC Hardenberg, netting the hosts' equaliser in the 66th minute.
[2] However, during his second season at MVV Maastricht, Verheydt netted thirteen times in all competitions, including eleven league goals and one each in the KNVB Cup and Eerste Divisie play-offs.
[17] On 5 August 2021, it was announced that Verheydt had signed a three-year contract with ADO Den Haag, newly relegated to the Eerste Divisie club.
[23] His goalscoring form continued in the following months, and he scored his first hat-trick of the season on 10 October, helping ADO to a 3–2 home victory against FC Den Bosch in the Eerste Divisie.
[31] The match ended 4–4 after extra time, and Excelsior emerged victorious in the penalty shootout, ultimately extinguishing ADO's hopes of promotion.
[34] The team had a rollercoaster season, during which Verheydt witnessed the dismissal of their new head coach, Dirk Kuyt, in November 2022 due to poor results.
[35] Under the guidance of his replacement, Dick Advocaat, the team showed improvement but ultimately finished in 12th place, missing out on a spot in the promotion play-offs by seven points.
[2] On 6 July 2023, ADO officially announced that Verheydt had departed the club to join Çorum, a recently promoted team in the Turkish TFF First League.
