Wiëlle Douma (born 13 January 2000) is a Dutch footballer who plays as defender for YB Frauen in the Swiss Women's Super League.[1]

Career

She grew up in Friesland and played with the FC Wolvega and Heerenveen youth teams, before playing for SC Heerenveen Vrouwen for six seasons.[2][3]

At the age of fifteen she suffered a severe concussion in a match with the Heerenveen youth team. Recovery took one year, during which playing football was one of the few things that did not cause headaches. Remarkably, she made her debut for the first team during this period (PEC Zwolle - Heerenveen, 11 December 2015[4]). She has been playing with a protective headband ever since.[5] Douma scored her first league goal against Achilles '29 on 19 March 2019, scoring in the 38th minute.[6]

She transferred to ADO Den Haag in 2021.[7] Douma made her league debut against Feyenoord on 29 August 2021.[8] She scored her first league goal against Excelsior on 10 October 2021, scoring in the 58th minute.[9] On 2 August 2022, Douma signed a new contract.[10]

Playing style

Douma is able to play in both the left- and right-back positions.[3]
