Former Hull City and QPR defender set for a return to Dutch football | OneFootball

RKC Waalwijk are set to sign former Hull City and QPR defender Jordy de Wijs on a free transfer. The defender is leaving Fortuna Düsseldorf following their shock relegation from Bundesliga 2 at the weekend. The 31-year-old Dutch defender was set to be out of contract in the summer and, having rarely featured for Fortuna this season, it was always likely that he would be leaving Germany. De Wijs joined Fortuna back in 2022 from QPR and put in some decent performances before injuries and head coaching preferences saw him lose his spot.

Waalwijk are getting an experienced defender back at the club, with de Wijs having been part of the youth set up before leaving to join PSV. Prior to joining Hull City in 2018, de Wijs played for the PSV first team on five occasions, with two loan spells at Excelsior. De Wijs spent two seasons with Hull City, playing over 70 games for the side. He then joined QPR during the 2020/2021 season, going on to play 22 games for the London club before joining Fortuna.
