Berry Powel

Powel began his footballing career at amateur club Quick 1890 before joining Roda '46, where his performances attracted the attention of professional scouts. In 2003, he signed with FC Den Bosch, making his debut for the first team in the same year. During his inaugural season, he scored nine goals in 26 appearances in the Eerste Divisie, contributing to the club's promotion to the Eredivisie as league champions. The following season, Powel scored twice in 29 matches in the top flight, as Den Bosch were relegated after just one year. The subsequent departures of several key players, including Koen van de Laak, Mourad Mghizrat, Jochen Janssen and Dennis Schulp, elevated Powel to a central role within the team. In the 2005–06 season, Powel scored 19 goals in 26 matches, prompting a move to English side Millwall. He made an immediate impact, scoring two minutes into his debut to secure a 1–1 draw against Cardiff City. Following Millwall’s relegation to Football League One, Powel returned to the Netherlands, signing a three-year contract with De Graafschap. He enjoyed a prolific 2006–07 campaign, finishing as the Eerste Divisie's top scorer with 29 goals and playing a key role in the club's promotion. On 25 August 2010, Powel joined Spanish Segunda División side Gimnàstic on a free transfer. He scored twice on his debut in a 2–0 victory over Girona FC. Although his initial form was promising, he failed to score in the next four matches. A tactical adjustment saw him deployed in…

On 26 April 2019, it was announced that Powel would assume a scouting role at De Graafschap, commencing on 1 July of that year. In August 2019, he also signed as a player with GVVV in the Tweede Divisie. In November 2024, Powel was appointed technical director of De Graafschap on an interim basis, following the departure of Peter Bijvelds. During this transitional period, he collaborated with head scout Richard Roelofsen to oversee player recruitment. On 3 February 2025, Powel signed a contract extending his tenure as technical manager until October 2027. Club director Marco Boogers endorsed the appointment, citing Powel's enrolment in the KNVB's technical director development programme and his collaboration with senior advisors at the club.
