Career

edit

Born in Veenendaal, Province of Utrecht, Hardeman started playing youth football career at hometown club GVVV before moving to the youth academy of Utrecht.[2][3] After his time at Utrecht, he transitioned to the youth academy of De Graafschap.[2]

In April 2023, he signed his first professional contract with De Graafschap until the summer of 2024, with an option for an additional year.[4] That same month, on 21 April 2023, Hardeman made his professional debut in the home match against ADO Den Haag, replacing Jan Lammers in the 82nd minute of a 1–0 home loss.[5]

Hardeman had his breakthrough season for De Graafschap during the 2023–24 season under the guidance of head coach Jan Vreman. He made his first start on 31 October 2023, in a KNVB Cup victory over Emmen, contributing to his club's clean sheet.[6] Since then, he solidified his position as a starting centre-back, establishing himself in the team from January 2024 onwards.[7]
