Bart Nieuwkoop (born 7 March 1996, age 30) is a Dutch right-back whose career has been shaped mainly at Feyenoord. He wears number 2 and has made 108 league appearances for the Rotterdam club across eight seasons, scoring twice.
His development was not simply a case of staying put. An early loan spell gave him senior football away from Feyenoord, while his later time at Union Saint-Gilloise brought his most productive league season, with three goals in 33 appearances in 2021-2022. That spell added a bit more range to a career otherwise rooted firmly in De Kuip.
He remains part of the Feyenoord first-team picture in 2025-2026, with 17 Eredivisie appearances and one goal, along with six Europa League outings. Across all competitions this season, he has made 23 appearances and scored once. His market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Nieuwkoop is an established Dutch full-back with a long Feyenoord record, a useful spell in Belgium behind him, and a continuing role in the side rather than a place on the margins.
