Breda agree Drost switch

NAC Breda have agreed a deal to sign defender Henrico Drost.

The 26-year-old is poised to put pen to paper on a two-year contract with the Eredivisie side after agreeing personal terms on Saturday.

Drost moves to the Rat Verlegh Stadion after three years at RKC Waalwijk, where he made 97 appearances, and has expressed his belief that it is now time for a new challenge.

“It was not an easy choice to leave to RKC, but I was in need of a new challenge and NAC is a step up,” he told the club’s official website.

“It’s a nice club with great supporters, so I can’t wait to get started.”

Drost began his career with Heerenveen before enjoying loan spells at Excelsior, De Graafschap and VVV Venlo.

He moved to RKC in 2010, helping the club into the Eredivisie in his first season.

NAC technical director Jeffrey van As hailed the new arrival, saying: “He is a player that fits NAC and has in recent years proved that he brings real value for a defence in the Eredivisie.”
