Bert Esselink was born on the 16th of August, 1999, making him 26 years old at present. Hailing from the Netherlands, Esselink is recognised for his defensive prowess on the football pitch, predominantly occupying the central defender's position. He currently brings his abilities to Dundee United, proudly donning the number 3 jersey. Esselink towers above most on the football pitch, standing tall at 6ft 3in (1.91m), and maintains a solid physique at a weight of 12st 3lb (78kg).
His adeptness on the field has resulted in his current market value being pegged around €350k, or approximately £298k (the Euro figure converted into British pounds and rounded down), according to Transfermarkt.
Esselink moved from the First Division's APOEL, based in Cyprus, to Stal Mielec, who play in Poland's I Liga, in the July of 2023 for a price that wasn't made public. He immediately made a positive impression with Stal Mielec, turning out 26 times for the first team and even managing to find the back of the net twice in league matches during his debut season, 2023-24. In the subsequent 2024-25 season, he racked up 28 first team appearances in league matches.
By the July of 2025, Esselink transferred his allegiance from Stal Mielec to Dundee United, a club competing in Scotland's Premiership. In the current 2025-26 season, he has been called upon 16 times for first team duty and has further extended his goal tally by one in league matches. Apart from this, Esselink has turned out on one occasion for Dundee United in the League Cup 2025-26 and has four starts to his name in the Conference League Qualifiers 2025-26.
