Mike Havenaar (ハーフナー・マイク Hāfunā Maiku?, born 20 May 1987 in Hiroshima, Hiroshima Prefecture) is a Dutch-Japanese professional footballer who plays as a striker for Eredivisie side ADO Den Haag.

Early life

Havenaar's parents came to Japan from the Netherlands in 1986 when his father Dido signed on to play for Hiroshima-based side Mazda F.C. of the Japan Soccer League (now Sanfrecce Hiroshima of the J. League). His mother was an athlete and a former national champion in the heptathlon.[1] His younger brother Nikki currently plays for Nagoya Grampus and has previously played for the U-17 and U-18 Japan national team as centre back.[2] The Havenaar family became naturalized Japanese citizens in 1994.

Club career

Havenaar began his career with the Consadole Sapporo U-15 side, where his father played and later worked as goalkeeper coach.

When Dido moved to powerhouse Yokohama F. Marinos, Mike joined the Marinos youth side and promoted to the top team in 2006. Playing as a forward, Havenaar made his debut as a professional on 15 April 2006, against Gamba Osaka. Havenaar and his father are the first father-son combination to play in the J. League.

He was loaned to second division club Avispa Fukuoka[3] and Sagan Tosu and showed respectable results.

In 2010, he joined Ventforet Kofu, scoring 20 goals in 30 appearances for the club, helping them gain promotion to J. League Division 1.

In 2011, Havenaar returned to Division 1 with Venforet and netted 17 times in 32 appearances. He received the J. League Best Eleven award after the season.[4] Despite his contendership for the Top Scorer award, Kofu was relegated at the end of the season.
