Devon Koswal (born 21 August 2003) is a professional footballer who plays as a defender for Eredivisie club Telstar.[3]
Dordrecht
Koswal came through the ranks at VV Alexandria, Spartaan '20, SBV Excelsior and FC Dordrecht, and made his debut for the senior team, coming on as a substitute for Kürşad Sürmeli in a 1–0 victory over NAC Breda.[4] He made his full debut in a 3–0 defeat to Almere City.[5] However, he would struggle with injuries the following years, limiting his playing time for the first team.[6]
Telstar
In August 2023, Koswal joined Eerste Divisie club Telstar on an amateur contract.[7] He made his debut for the club on 28 August, coming on as a late substitute in a 3–1 league defeat to Jong AZ.[8] On 15 April 2024, Koswal signed his first professional contract with Telstar, a one-year deal with an option for a further season.[9][10]
During the 2024–25 season, he established himself as a regular starter and played an important role in Telstar's defensive setup. On 27 March 2025, the club exercised the option in his deal, extending his contract to 2026.[11][12] Koswal featured in all six matches of the promotion play-offs and provided an assist in the 3–1 second-leg win over Willem II that secured Telstar's first promotion to the Eredivisie in 47 years.[13][14]
Koswal made his Eredivisie debut on 10 August 2025, starting in a 2–0 away defeat to Ajax at the Johan Cruyff Arena.[15][16]
