Club career
editVincken made three appearances for the Feyenoord first team during the 2004–05 season, making his professional debut in the away match against NEC Nijmegen on 8 May 2005, which ended in a 0–2 loss.[3]
Vincken scored his first goal for Feyenoord in a match against local rivals Sparta Rotterdam on 23 December 2006. His goal resulted in a win for his club.[4] Though considered to be very talented, Vincken regularly suffered from injuries which made Feyenoord to decide to not extend his contract in June 2010.[5] He subsequently signed with Excelsior, where he had already spent time on loan the previous season. In June 2012, Vincken signed a two-year deal with De Graafschap, which was not extended two years later. He signed with Atlético Baleares in December 2014.[6] Vincken returned to the Netherlands in 2016, playing for lower league side vv Capelle,[7] where he retired after one season.
In 2018, Vincken was appointed assistant under head coach Ivo Loovens for the TOGB under-17 team. This marked his return to the club where he began his footballing career; something fellow former professional Roland Bergkamp also did, as he became assistant to the U17 reserves.[1]
International career
