Bram van Polen Retires From PEC Zwolle

After 17 seasons, Bram van Polen has bid farewell to PEC Zwolle and his fans.

The Dutch defender, who signed his first professional contract with the club in 2007, announced his retirement earlier this year.

Van Polen, who was born on 11 October 1985, has been a loyal servant to PEC Zwolle throughout his career. He has made over 400 appearances for the club and has been a key part of their success in recent years, helping them to win the KNVB Cup in 2014.

Van Polen's retirement is a big loss for PEC Zwolle, but he leaves the club in a good position. They have a young and talented squad, and they are well-placed to challenge for honours in the years to come.

Van Polen's retirement is also a reminder that time waits for no man. Even the most successful players eventually have to hang up their boots. But Van Polen can be proud of what he has achieved in his career. He has been a great servant to PEC Zwolle and he will be remembered as one of the club's greatest players.
