Club career

edit

Doomernik first played for OSC '45 and then became part of the youth academy of PSV, where he could not break into the first team.[2][3] In 1992, he was loaned to Sparta, where he played for one season.[3] In 1993, he was signed by Roda JC, where his former youth coach Huub Stevens had become the new manager. At Roda, he became part of a successful side which finished second in the 1994–95 Eredivisie, and which won the 1996–97 and 1999–2000 KNVB Cups.

During the summer of 2000, Doomernik was loaned to NAC,[4] where he stayed for two seasons. He did not play any matches in his second season, however, as a serious hip injury forced his retirement.[3] He played his last match in May 2001, at the age of 30.[5]

Personal life

Doomernik was a youth coach at NAC, Roda JC and VV Schaesberg before joining EHC in 2014.[6] He is married to Darlene and the couple have two children.
