Ronald Hikspoors (born 27 April 1988) is a Dutch football coach and former player, who is currently assistant coach of Eerste Divisie club Helmond Sport. During his career, he played as a striker and centre-back.[2][3][4][5]

Career

Sarawak

A trialist for Malaysian club Sarawak in late 2013,[6] Hikspoors failed to earn a contract with the team but in 2014 the media spread rumors that he was the best choice to replace Muamer Salibašić as forward[7] and the forward finally signed a one-year contract by the end of the year.[8] Usually playing as an attacker, Hikspoors put in a solid display in the back line for his team, forcing opponents JDT to just long shots.[9]

PSM Makassar

A mid-season foreign import to PSM Makassar in 2016, the Dutchman notched his first goal for the Indonesian outfit in a round 10 clash against Persib Bandung in the 65th minute.[10] In response, the Persib Bandung staff and players lacerated the referee for his decision to let the goal count but the game resumed play shortly after.[11] One game later, however, Hikspoors' time in Indonesia was cut short by colliding with two opposing players and getting pulled out 15 minutes into a match versus Persiba Balikpapan.[12] The injury he suffered forced him to miss the rest of the season[13] and undergo recovery in his native Netherlands.[14]

Throughout his stay in Indonesia, the footballer was suspended once for getting two straight yellow cards.[15]

Coaching career

In 2023, he was appointed assistant coach of Eerste Divisie club Helmond Sport.[16]
