Tein Cornelis Johannes Troost (born 15 January 2002) is a Dutch footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Football Superleague of Kosovo club Llapi.
Early life From Breda in North Brabant, Netherlands, Troost started playing as a goalkeeper after being rejected following a trial with his local club as an outfield player and almost gave-up football before deciding to try the new position. He was spotted by a scout at NAC Breda playing as a goalkeeper for his local club and invited to try out with them.
Career Feyenoord Having joined the academy at NAC Breda as a youngster, he left the club to join-up with Feyenoord in 2018. The following year, as a seventeen-year-old, he signed a first professional contract with the club, agreeing to a two-and-a-half-year deal. He spent five years in the Feyenoord academy and was an unused substitute 39 times with the first team without making an appearance.
NAC Breda Troost went on to rejoin NAC Breda in the summer of 2023. He made his senior debut for NAC Breda on 22 September 2023, against FC Emmen in the Eerste Divisie. He was a member of the squad that earned promotion to the Eredivisie in June 2024.
Cork City (loan) On 7 December 2024, it was announced that Troost would join newly promoted League of Ireland Premier Division club Cork City on loan until July 2025, with the option of a permanent deal. He made his debut on 14 February 2025 in a 2–2 home draw against Galway United. Troost made 22 appearances in all competitions during his loan spell, but turned down the option to move to the club on a permanent basis, despite Cork being willing to meet the €75,000 release clause in the loan deal to secure his signature.https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/soccer/arid-41659850.html
