Career

No transfer history

Gijs Smal is settling into his role as a bronze-tier Creator. Arriving in Rotterdam in the summer of 2024, the left-sided specialist is steadily building his body of work in a new environment. Our verdict? The foundation is entirely solid.

Six appearances and 467 minutes into the campaign, the numbers tell a clear story. He holds the SQUAD PLAYER badge—a testament to his reliability when called upon. A high Passing metric drives his entire creative game. Operating out wide, he uses that elite distribution to break defensive lines. With one assist over his last five outings, he is hitting top form. This sharp upward trajectory proves he is fully finding his feet in the squad.

Valued at €6M, his market trajectory has taken a slight dip. However, his emerging body of work suggests he is just getting started. If this creative rhythm continues to yield chances, that valuation should comfortably stabilize.
