| Imposing central defender Patrick Zwaanswijk was one of the Mariners best players last season, with his years of experience coming to the fore during a stellar campaign.
Prior to joining the Yellow and Navy, the Dutchman enjoyed a decorated career in his homeland, playing over 300 Eredivise matches with FC Utrecht and NAC Breda.
Zwaanswijk also spent a short period in Japanese football with Oita Trinita, with the Mariners the fourth professional side for the 36-year-old.
Despite being the oldest member of the Mariners squad, Zwaanswijk is a consummate professional, looking after his health and fitness to ensure he more than keeps pace with the Hyundai A-League elite. |
