Nick Twisk (born 13 March 2003) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Dutch club AZ Alkmaar.[1]
Career
From Egmond aan Zee in North Holland, Twisk transferred from VV Zeevogels to the AZ Youth Academy in 2014 at the age of ten years-old.[2] He played a key part as the AZ Alkmaar under-18 side won a league and cup double in the 2021–22 season.[3][4][5] He was also later part of AZ's UEFA Youth League winning team during the 2022-23 season and also played against Boca Juniors in the U20 Intercontinental Cup.[2]
Twisk made his professional league debut for Jong AZ in the Eerste Divisie on 30 April 2021 in the 0–1 away match against Roda JC Kerkrade.[6] Twisk was rewarded with a new extended two-year contract in April 2022.[7] In 2024, he signed another two-year contract extension.[2] However, a meniscus injury to his knee sidelined him for a total of 516 days, missing 58 matches. By the 2025-26 season, Twisk was captain of the Jong AZ, and the oldest player in the team, playing in midfield but also occasionally at centre-back.[8] He scored his first league goal for the club in a 4-2 away win over Roda JC on 5 December 2025.[9]
