Neal Roëll Viereck (born 3 May 2004) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a defender for Segunda División club Tenerife, on loan from FC Utrecht.

Early life

[edit]

He joined the Ajax Youth Academy as a youngster. However, his progress as a young player was not linear, and whilst transitioning his playing time between Ajax under-13 and their under-14 set-up, Viereck suffered from a number of injuries. This could well have been linked to a growth spurt he had that saw his grow by 4cm in a single season.[1]

Career

[edit]

Ajax

[edit]

Viereck made his professional debut for Jong Ajax on 11 December 2022 against Jong Utrecht in the Eerste Divisie.[2][3]

Viereck received unfortunate worldwide press coverage when he was sent-off playing for Jong Ajax against De Graafschap on 13 January 2023, just 30 seconds after appearing on the pitch as a substitute. He entered the field of play in the 59th minute as a replacement for Jorrel Hato, but was immediately dismissed in the 60th minute with a straight red card for a professional foul on Camiel Neghli by referee Luuk Timmer.[4] The event was reported as unusual and of a comical nature worldwide, including in Ecuador,[5] Portugal,[6] Peru,[7] Argentina,[8] and Bosnia.[9] It was only his second professional appearance. An appeal against the red card by the club was unsuccessful and Viereck’s red card was upheld and he served suspension.[10]

Utrecht

[edit]

On 19 July 2023, Viereck signed a two-year contract with Utrecht and was assigned to Jong Utrecht.[11] He made his league debut for the club as a starter on 18 September 2023 in an away 2-0 loss to FC Emmen in the Eerste Divisie.[12] Later captaining the side, he scored his first league goal for the club securing a late equaliser in a 1-1 draw against Roda JC on 1 November 2025.[13]

Loan to Tenerife

[edit]

On 17 July 2026, Viereck was loaned to Segunda División side Tenerife, for one year.[14]
