"Nearly eight years after the Suriname international attacker turned down Leeds United to join Derby in a £2.75 million move, Jozefzoon has made a big career announcement. As confirmed by 35-year-old Jozefzoon himself via his official Instagram page - which he only began just over a week ago - on February 26, the Ajax academy graduate has made the decision to retire from playing in his mid-30's."
"Without doubt Jozefzoon's best stint in football came with Brentford, who he joined in January 2017 from PSV. The winger had previously joined the Dutch giants in 2013 from RKC Waalwijk, but a serious knee injury scuppered much of his time in Eindhoven. Joining Dean Smith's side halfway through the 2016-17 season, Jozefzoon would go on to score eight times and notch 10 assists in 62 appearances."
Florian Jozefzoon, a Suriname international winger, has retired from professional football at 35 years old. He joined Derby County in 2017 as a £2.75 million signing during Frank Lampard's managerial era, competing for playing time alongside Harry Wilson and other attacking players. Jozefzoon had previously developed at Brentford, where he achieved his best career form with eight goals and ten assists in 62 appearances. His career also included time at PSV in the Dutch league before a serious knee injury limited his opportunities. His final club was Spanish fourth-tier side Intercity, where he made just one appearance before departing in 2025.
