Career

In 1992 Waterreus began his career with Roda JC Kerkrade . After moving to PSV Eindhoven in 1994 , he soon made a name for himself as a goalkeeper. This also secured him the appointment to the national team , with which he took part in the 2004 European Championship.

After ten years as a regular goalkeeper at PSV, Waterreus moved to the English Premier League at Manchester City for one season in 2004 . In 2005 he signed with the traditional Scottish club Glasgow Rangers . He was supposed to replace the injured Stefan Klos there . He quickly became a regular goalkeeper and was there when the Rangers made it to the Champions League round of 16 for the first time .
