Club career edit

A much-travelled leftback, van Doten played for FC Dordrecht Reserves in the 2008-09 season,[2] then had some seasons in Dutch amateur football before moving abroad to play for Maltese outfit Birkirkara. He then had an injury-hit stint in Bulgaria with Etar 1924[3] before joining Romanian Liga I club FC Universitatea Cluj.[4] He was dismissed by Uni after 5 rounds and moved to Canada to play for Thunder Bay Chill.

After winning the award Best Defensive Player 2014 In Canada, van Doten joined KFC Witgoor in Belgium in January 2015, but left them two weeks later before even playing one match[5] and moved to Kuwait and signed a deal with Al Sahel Club on 28 January 2015. Due to mistakes in the required documents from Belgium, FIFA blocked the transfer. Van Doten would be eligible to play official games for his new club as from 1 July 2015. On 28 October 2016 Toronto FC invited Van Doten for a short trial and a medical test. During the second training session van Doten got tackled from behind and could not proceed the trial. He flew back to The Netherlands and is a free agent.

Personal life edit

Van Doten is the cousin of former Heerenveen striker Luciano Slagveer.
