No he can't. Has played for Dutch youth sides.
Really? How did we get this guy?!
It's still quite depressing that we can't believe that anyone who plays for us can be at all decent. :-/
To be fair in this instance we were pretty lucky to sign him. He could easily be playing somewhere Europe. I think its more stunning that he is in this league at all rather than with us.
Things never really panned out for him in Holland. He certainly never was a name player there.
He never got the breaks - the coach who rated him at Ajax as a teenager, Martin Jol, resigned soon after giving Roly his one and only Ajax appearance in the Eredivisie (and one Cup appearance) and new manger Frank de Boer didn't rate him.
He was then sent out on loan to smaller Eredivisie clubs NAC and Roda for two seasons before signing permanently for Ivan Vicelich's old club Roda for the 2013-14 season.
Roda then got relegated and he was able to use an out clause in his contract to leave and sign for Wellington.
Lots of players have played for Dutch youth teams and never gone on to big careers. Examples include Reza the current Iran international (Dutch born and several Dutch youth caps) who is on the books of my mum's club Charlton Athletic but didn't make it there and is on loan in Kuwait, and Osama Rashid a Dutch Iraqi who has 28 Dutch u-17, u-19 and u-20 caps up until last year (much more capped than Roly and a mainstay of Dutch youth sides for the last six years) and was on the books of Feyenoord but now plays in the fourth tier of Dutch football for Alphense Boys (although he's in Iraq's squad for the Asian Cup).
It seems strange, but Holland's national youth sides have never been very successful - their u-17's have only qualified for three FIFA u-17 World Cups (knocked out in the group stages twice) and four FIFA u-20 World Cups (not since 2005).
They failed to make the UEFA u-19 Finals in Hungary last year to determine the qualifiers for FIFA u-20 World Cup NZ 2015 - they finished beneath Georgia and Wales in their qualifying group!
Holland have only qualified for two of the last ten UEFA u-19 Finals tournaments.
