Renate Jansen (born 7 December 1990) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a striker for Eredivisie club PSV and the Netherlands national team. She has scored the most goals in the history of the top Dutch women's league.[1]

Club career

Jansen's career started at the youth teams of SV Abbenes in her native Abbenes.[2] In 2005, she started to play in the B1 (boys team) of VV Kagia [nl] in Lisserbroek.[3] In 2007, she left the club and joined Ter Leede,[4] and later joined HvA.[5]

ADO Den Haag

In the summer of 2008, she signed with ADO Den Haag of the Eredivisie.[6] In the 2011–12 season, her team won the double, winning the league and the KNVB Women's Cup.[7][8] The next season, the new BeNe League, with clubs from Belgium and the Netherlands, replaced the national leagues of both countries. That season, Jansen scored during her UEFA Women's Champions League debut match against Rossiyanka.[9]

On 19 April 2014, she played her 150th official match for ADO (131 league, 16 cup, 2 Champions League, and 1 BeNe Super Cup) against FC Twente; since her club debut on 21 August 2008, she had missed just three matches and scored 87 goals (71 league, 15 cup, and 1 Champions League).[5]

FC Twente

After seven seasons at ADO, where she scored 109 goals in 181 games in all competitions, she joined FC Twente in the summer of 2015.[10] Twente won the league title in her first season, 2015–16.[11] She was third on her team and in the league in goal scored, with 13. She was second the Eredivisie in goals scored in 2020–21 with 12 goals and third the following year with 17 goals. She also scored 14 goals in 29 Champions League matches with the Eschede club.[12]

On 10 April 2024, Jansen announced she would leave the club at the end of the season, hoping to play for a club in another country.[13]

PSV

In June 2024, Jansen signed a two-year contract with PSV, arriving from Twente on a free transfer.[14]

International career

Jansen made her debut for the Dutch national team on 1 April 2010 against Slovakia. She was part of training camps with the national team and played in friendlies until 2017, when she was included in the squad for the 2017 Algarve Cup. Her big break into a major tournament coming soon after, as she was selected for the UEFA Women's Euro 2017,[15] where she played four matches, coming in as a substitute in the tournament won by the Dutch.[16]

After the tournament, the entire team was honoured by the Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Minister of Sport Edith Schippers and made Knights of the Order of Orange-Nassau.[17]

She appeared in one match in the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, coming on as a substitute in the 87th minute in a victory over Canada.[18]

On 31 May 2023, she was named as part of the Netherlands provisional squad for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.[19] In September 2023, Jansen scored the winning goal in the 90th minute against England in the UEFA Women's Nations League, keeping the Dutch team's chances alive in the tournament.[20]
