Rajiv van La Parra, a 33-year-old Dutch forward, has signed a contract with Beerschot that lasts until the end of the season, with an option for an additional season. After training with the team on a trial basis this week, he successfully convinced coach Dirk Kuyt and his staff of his capabilities. Van La Parra, who had been without a club since last summer, is aiming to relaunch his career at Beerschot. Having started his youth career at Feyenoord, he later played for clubs such as SM Caen, SC Heerenveen, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Brighton, Huddersfield Town, and most recently Almere City FC. He brings with him significant experience, having appeared in 114 matches in the Eredivisie and English Championship, and 38 Premier League games where he scored three goals. Sporting Director Murat Akin conveyed his satisfaction with Van La Parra's trial performance, noting that his experience would be a valuable addition to the team.
