Twente sign Schilder from NAC

Twente have signed Robbert Schilder from NAC for an undisclosed fee.

The 26-year-old has agreed to a four-year contract with the 2010 Eredivisie champions.

Twente had long been linked with a move for the versatile midfielder, and have now managed to lure him to Enschede ahead of the 2012-13 campaign.

Schilder is a product of the Ajax youth academy, but never secured regular first-team action at the Amsterdam giants.

Ajax farmed the left-footed midfielder out on loan to Heracles from 2006 until 2008, before eventually selling him to NAC in the summer of 2009. He had since developed into a key player at the Breda side.

Schilder, who can also feature at left-back, is Twente’s third signing for the 2012-13 season after the arrivals of Dusan Tadic and Felipe Gutierrez.
