KERKRADE (DA) — Anthony van den Hurk said Curaçao officials have contacted him about a possible return to the national team. The 33-year-old center forward spoke after scoring twice in Roda JC’s 3-1 win over FC Volendam on Saturday at Parkstad Limburg Stadion.
Van den Hurk said the national team manager and a board member of the Curaçao Football Federation (FFK) were his points of contact. He said head coach Dick Advocaat had not contacted him directly.
Asked about returning, Van den Hurk said his family is his priority. He recently became a father for the fourth time and said his youngest child is dealing with health problems.
Van den Hurk captained Roda JC on Saturday and raised his team-leading total to 9 goals in 14 matches in the Eerste Divisie, the Dutch second tier. He has scored twice in 7 appearances for Curaçao and said he last played for the national team four years ago.
