Serginho Greene

Haarlem

At Haarlem, he spent one season in de Eerste Divisie, playing 34 matches and scoring one goal. He still had a three-year remaining contract at Ajax, which he gave up, because he did not want to play in the Eerste Divisie any longer. Ajax decided to release him and fellow Eredivisie contenders RKC Waalwijk showed interest in him. Working with Martin Jol, Željko Petrović (who still was a player at RKC in those days) and Erwin Koeman he learned a lot about professional football and he developed quickly.

RKC Waalwijk

Greene played on many positions during his RKC spell. In his first season at the club he played as a left fullback, while in his second season he played both in the centre of defence and as a right fullback. During his second season at the club he became one of RKC's key players and teams like VfL Wolfsburg, Tottenham Hotspur, Galatasaray, Hamburger SV, Rangers, AZ and Feyenoord showed interest in signing him. Eventually, Feyenoord announced signing Greene on a free transfer on 14 April 2005. The main reasons for Greene to join Feyenoord were the club's reputation and their well known fanatic supporters.

Feyenoord

Greene finished the 2004–05 season in Waalwijk and joined the Feyenoord squad in the summer of 2005. At Feyenoord's presentation day on 27 July 2004, Greene flew into De Kuip by helicopter, along with other newly signed players Maikel Aerts, Timothy Derijck, Gianni Zuiverloon, Tim Vincken and Ali Boussaboun.

Greene was a member of the Netherlands U-16 and U-21 football teams.

Greene's life revolved around football from a young age, growing up in the southeastern part of Amsterdam, where playing street football was a daily ritual. Unlike other sports such as tennis or basketball, he was only dedicated to football. He delighted in controlling the ball and honing his skills through tricks and street matches on the streets of Amsterdam. At the age of six, his father introduced him to FC Abcoude, where he played in their youth teams until he turned twelve. He then transitioned to Ajax's renowned football academy. He progressed through the youth ranks until he reached the under-19 squad. There, the coaches recognised his exceptional talent but believed he wasn't quite ready for Ajax's senior team. They suggested a loan move to Haarlem, which he initially hesitated about. However, he eventually made the decision to embark on that journey and kickstart his professional career.
