Early life

From Breda in North Brabant, Netherlands, Troost started playing as a goalkeeper after being rejected following a trial with his local club as an outfield player and almost gave-up football before deciding to try the new position. He was spotted by a scout at NAC Breda playing as a goalkeeper for his local club and invited to try out with them.^[2]

Career

Feyenoord

Having joined the academy at NAC Breda as a youngster, he left the club to join-up with Feyenoord in 2018.^[3] The following year, as a seventeen-year-old, he signed a first professional contract with the club, agreeing to a two-and-a-half-year deal.^[4] He spent five years in the Feyenoord academy and was an unused substitute 39 times with the first team without making an appearance.^[5]

NAC Breda

Troost went on to rejoin NAC Breda in the summer of 2023.^[5][6] He made his senior debut for NAC Breda on 22 September 2023, against FC Emmen in the Eerste Divisie.^[7][8] He was a member of the squad that earned promotion to the Eredivisie in June 2024.^[2]

Cork City (loan)

On 7 December 2024, it was announced that Troost would join newly promoted League of Ireland Premier Division club Cork City on loan until July 2025, with the option of a permanent deal.^[9][2] He made his debut on 14 February 2025 in a 2-2 home draw against Galway United.^[10] Troost made 22 appearances in all competitions during his loan spell, but turned down the option to move to the club on a permanent basis, despite Cork being willing to meet the €75,000 release clause in the loan deal to secure his signature.^[11]
