Carolina Core FC News Release
HIGH POINT, N.C. - Carolina Core FC announced today the signing of midfielder Tim Zeegers.
Born in Meerssen, Netherlands, Zeegers developed through the MVV Maastricht Academy, where he joined at just five years old and progressed through every level of the club's system. After 14 years in the academy, he earned a first-team role with MVV Maastricht in 2019, going on to spend six seasons competing in the Dutch Eerste Divisie.
Standing at 5'11" and known for his work rate, tactical awareness, and ability to control tempo in the middle of the park, Zeegers brings a steady presence and professional experience to the Core's midfield group.
"Players who come through one academy and earn their way to the first team bring a different level of commitment," said Chief Sporting Officer Eddie Pope. "Tim has that background, and it shows in how he trains, competes, and carries himself on and off the field."
Zeegers becomes the latest international addition to Carolina Core FC's roster as the club continues shaping a competitive squad for the upcoming season.
