Lars de Blok (born 14 June 2004) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Eerste Divisie club VVV-Venlo.
Early life and career
De Blok grew up in Ouddorp on Goeree-Overflakkee and began playing football at local club VV WFB, before being scouted by Feyenoord in 2011.[1] He progressed through the club's youth system, where he transitioned from an attacking role to midfield before being redeployed in defence, eventually establishing himself as a left-back.[1] In May 2021, he signed his first professional contract.[2] In May 2024, Feyenoord extended his contract by a further year, until mid-2025.[3] Although he did not make a competitive first-team appearance for the Rotterdam club, De Blok featured in several friendly matches.
VVV-Venlo
In July 2025, he left Feyenoord and joined Eerste Divisie club VVV-Venlo on a free transfer following a successful trial period, signing a two-year contract running until mid-2027.[4][5]
De Blok made his competitive debut for VVV-Venlo on 8 August 2025 in the opening match of the 2025–26 season against De Graafschap, coming on as a substitute in the 61st minute for Philip Heise. On 7 November 2025, he scored his first professional goals, converting both a penalty and a free kick in a 2–0 away victory over Jong AZ.[6] The performance earned him the man-of-the-match distinction, as he had by then established himself as VVV-Venlo's regular left-back.[7]
