BIOGRAPHY
J. Willems represents NEC Nijmegen in the Eredivisie, one of the most competitive divisions in world football. Originally from Rotterdam, Netherlands, this Netherlands international has steadily made his way to the top level. Standing at 169 cm and weighing 65 kg, this defender has the physical tools to compete at the highest level. His ability to read trajectories and anticipate opposition movement is one of his key defensive strengths. The move from PSV Eindhoven to Eintracht Frankfurt (€ 5M) in 2017 marked a pivotal moment in his professional development. The silverware in his career — notably Eredivisie, DFB Pokal, Super Cup — confirms his ability to perform in the biggest moments. The 2025/2026 season provides him with the opportunity to consolidate his status within NEC Nijmegen's first team. His well-rounded profile and accumulated experience make him one of the most important assets in NEC Nijmegen's squad.
