Ralf Seuntjens (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈrɑl(ə)f ˈsøːɲtɕəns]; born 17 April 1989) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a striker for Belgian Challenger Pro League club Lommel.
Seuntjens formerly played for RBC Roosendaal, FC Den Bosch and Telstar. In April 2016, he was crowned the Eerste Divisie top goalscorer of the 2015–16 season with 28 goals.[1]
On 11 March 2021, it was announced that Seuntjens had signed a two-year contract with an option for an additional year with NAC Breda, starting from the 2021–22 season.[2]
On 25 March 2022, Seuntjens joined FC Imabari in the Japanese third-tier J3 League.[3] He was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma in May 2022, and therefore ruled out for a substantial time.[4] He made his return to the pitch after beating cancer on 17 June 2023, coming on as a substitute shortly before full-time in a league match against Tegevajaro Miyazaki.[5]
On 24 December 2023, it was announced that Seuntjens would be returning to De Graafschap, effective 1 January 2024, after signing a six-month contract.[6][7] He remained with the club through the 2024–25 season. Upon the expiry of his contract, De Graafschap opted not to renew, and Seuntjens left the club as a free agent.[8][9]
On 10 July 2025, Seuntjens signed a one-year contract with Lommel in Belgian second tier.[10]
Personal life
His younger brother Mats Seuntjens is also a professional footballer.[11]
On 12 May 2022, a neoplasm was discovered after a medical examination on Seuntjens' shoulder.[12][13] On 17 June, he wrote on Instagram that a diagnosis had been made, and that he was to undergo treatment.[14] The diagnosis was later revealed to be Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.[4] In January 2023, he was declared cancer-free.[15]
