    About Julien Kranenburg

    Personal:
    Born in 2007, Julien has steadily developed his game at Ilpendam, showcasing both his talent and determination throughout his years in the club’s youth system. This season, he made his official debut for Ilpendam’s first men’s team, an important milestone that reflects the coaching staff’s confidence in his potential. While he is not yet a permanent member of the senior squad, the opportunity to compete at that level has given him a valuable taste of the pace and physicality of men’s soccer. It also highlights his readiness to step up when called upon and his drive to continue growing as a player.

    Soccer:
    Julien’s game is built around pace, flair, and attacking intent. He loves being sent into space down the wing, using his speed to beat defenders, and then delivering smart cutbacks to create chances for his teammates, particularly finding the striker at the top of the box. His direct playing style stretches defenses and keeps opponents under pressure throughout the match.

    Julien is focused on continuing his development in a competitive environment, working hard to grow his game and make a consistent impact at both youth and senior levels.

    Julien is looking to join a competitive program in the fall of 2026. He is currently a sophomore in college in his home country the Netherlands, and will have 3 more years of eligibility left.
