Jelle ten Rouwelaar (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈjɛlə tɛn ˈrʌuəˌlaːr]; born 24 December 1980 in Joure) is a Dutch retired footballer, who started his professional career in the 1998–99 season playing for FC Emmen.

He was the first-choice goalkeeper of NAC Breda for nine years in which he hardly missed a match. In March 2011, he received a call-up for the Netherlands national team, but he did not play.

Career[edit]

Coaching career[edit]

On 29 April 2016, during the match against Go Ahead Eagles the fans started to applaud his recently deceased mother at the 61st minute in reference to his mother's age.[1] On 19 May 2016, he played his last match during the playoffs of the Dutch professional competitions.

After his active career, he was immediately hired as goalkeeper coach for NAC Breda, where he stayed until the summer of 2020. From there, he was hired in an identical position at Anderlecht.[2] During the 2018-19 season, Ten Rouwelaar was also functioning as a goalkeeper coach for the Dutch U-20 national team.[3]

In July 2022, Jelle ten Rouwelaar moved to English Premier League club Burnley under newly hired manager, Vincent Kompany, who he also worked under at Anderlecht.
