If Almere end up getting promoted, I wonder if they will try to buy him.

Good for him. Lets all hope Almere get promoted.
Nice little skit from this week's Flying Kiwis. 10 clean sheets. Another who's Dutch is maybe a work in progress.
There we go. With Almere City second only on goal difference with a healthy gap between them and third place and the top two spots earning automatic promotion (as well as the following six teams going into playoffs for a chance to face the third-bottom team in the top flight for their place), Michael Woud was gonna have a decision to make if his loan team goes on to get promoted. He’s first choice keeper for Almere and playing great. At Willem II he has only been a backup, with the club signing a new keeper and loaning him out in the summer when they could have given him that chance (understandable, tbf). But it turns out there’s no decision needs to be made because it’s already been made.
Michael Woud has signed a three and a half year contract with Almere City to join them on a permanent basis. Woud had played on five occasions for the first team at Willem II – whose own form has probably made this an even easier choice as they’re currently in the relegation zone themselves after 18 games. As things stand, his new club will be swapping places with his old club.
AC Technical director Teun Jacobs: “Michael Woud has undergone good development since his arrival in Almere. With his reliable performances, he has become a valued player in the squad both on and off the field. From that point of view, we are pleased that we have been able to bind Michael to the club for a longer period of time so that we can achieve our shared ambitions.”
