Career
editPlayer
editBorn in Middelburg, Veenstra began his career at amateur side DVV Duiven. He later joined RCS Middelburg where he was scouted by top flight club NAC Breda.[1] Veenstra played there five years in the youth.[2]
He made his professional football debut in the NAC Breda squad of the 2006–07 season.[3] Veenstra was loaned out to SBV Excelsior for the 2008–09 season,[4] and in January 2009 he went to HFC Haarlem on loan from NAC Breda.[5]
In June 2010, Veenstra returned to amateur football and joined Topklasse side, HSV Hoek.[6] In May 2011, it was announced he would join VV Kloetinge.[7] He played for Kloetinge until 2013.
Manager
editIn 2015, Veenstra became the assistant manager of Zeelandia's first squad. The next season he managed Zeelandia. Thereafter, he coached VV Goes for two seasons.
In 2019, he signed as manager of ASWH. Before he started coaching, the club had made it against all odds into the Tweede Divisie. His first season at ASWH was challenging as the club did not have the funds for semiprofessional football. When the season ended early because of coronavirus, ASWH was dead-last yet stayed in the Tweede because all relegations had been canceled. He continued all three Tweede Divisie years with ASWH.
In 2022, he moved to Excelsior Rotterdam to manage its Youth Academy. From 2024, he manages Kloetinge.
