He represented the Netherlands at the 2020 European Men's Handball Championship.[2][3]
After his playing career he has been a goalkeeping coach at the Dutch nationala team. At the 2022 European Men's Handball Championship he decided to shortly unretire to fill in as a backup goalkeeper for the Dutch national team when Dennis Schellekens tested positive for COVID-19. He did however test positive himself later, and did thus not get to play.[4]
