Career

edit

Born in Winterswijk, Gelderland, Raterink started playing youth football career at hometown club FC Trias before moving to the youth academy of Twente in 2016.[1][2] After failing to break through at Twente, he returned to FC Trias before moving to De Graafschap's youth academy.[3]

Laterink made his professional debut on 24 February 2023, replacing Devin Haen in the 61st minute of a 4–0 away victory against Eindhoven. Notably, he marked his first-team debut with a goal.[4] In March 2023, he signed his first professional contract with De Graafschap, securing a three-year deal.[5] He remained a backup striker to Haen for the remainder of the season.[6]

Following reduced playing time in the 2023–24 season after the signing of Ralf Seuntjens, Raterink went on a trial with German Regionalliga club SG Barockstadt Fulda-Lehnerz.[7] He participated in a friendly match against SpVgg Greuther Fürth II on 23 January 2024.[8] However, despite his efforts, he was unable to secure a transfer and consequently remained at De Graafschap.[9]
