Clarence Seedorf’s nephew Collin signs for Scottish side Inverness on two-year deal
Says 22-year-old defender: 'If we get promotion, maybe I can arrange something and he can come and enjoy the party'
CLARENCE SEEDORF'S nephew has joined Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
Right-back Collin Seedorf, 22, signs on a two-year deal after his release from Waalwijk in his native Netherlands.
He spoke to his famous uncle - a Champions League winner with three different clubs - before the move.
"We had a little chat a couple of weeks ago and I told him I was thinking of a new adventure. He said 'if it feels good, just go'," explained Seedorf.
"If we get promotion, maybe I can arrange something and he can come and enjoy the party."
In a club interview via Facebook, he added: "I like the vision of this club and the manager and I want to help take them to back to where they belong."
He is the fourth new arrival at the Highland club since they were relegated from the Premiership.
Seedorf made his Eerste Divisie debut in 2014 and scored twice in the Dutch second tier - both goals coming against the B team of Ajax.

He made 11 appearances last season, five of them starts, as Waalwijk finished 10th last season.
Clarence Seedorf set the Champions League alight, winning the trophy with Ajax, Real Madrid and AC Milan.
Collin has some way to go to emulate that, but Caley Thistle manager John Robertson said:
"He’s a very flexible player. He’s got a great attitude and can play in numerous positions.
“He is a defender that can play anywhere along the back four, but he can also play as a defensive midfielder. He’s also very good on the ball.
“We’re looking to develop him, he’s only 22, but we believe he can go on to bigger and better things.
“We believe he can be part of the squad that takes us back to the Premiership.
“We are delighted to get him in and he is raring to go.”
