After the end of his time in the A youth , he immediately belonged to the top division squad of the "Zebras". He made his debut on August 25, 1957 in a 1-0 away win at SC Viktoria Köln in the attack of Meidericher. In his fourth use on February 16, 1958 at the home game against Wuppertaler SV , he distinguished himself for the first time as a goalscorer in the Oberliga West .

In the last two league rounds Meiderich pushed himself into the top of the table. In the decisive year 1962/63 , the "Zebras" achieved third place and were thus nominated for the new Bundesliga . On the final day of the round, on May 11, 1963, the MSV received Prussia Münster as fourth in the table, who came to Wedau as third in the table . With two goals from Versteeg, Meiderich won the game and finished third in the final classification. In total, Versteeg completed 137 games in the Oberliga West from 1957 to 1963, scoring 52 goals for Meiderich.

In the first year of the Bundesliga, 1963/64 , Meiderich surprisingly and coach Rudi Gutendorf won the runner-up behind the title holder 1. FC Köln . Together with goalkeeper Manfred Manglitz , Versteeg played all 30 league games. The MSV goalscorer list was headed by Werner Krämer (11 goals), Versteeg (9), Helmut Rahn (8) and, together with seven goals, Werner Lotz and Gustav Walenciak . The last time the technically well-trained striker was in the Bundesliga on May 21, 1966 in the 1: 4 defeat at 1. FC Nürnberg. After 62 Bundesliga games with 14 goals, he ended his activity at Meidericher SV and joined the 1966/67 Hamborn 07 round in the Regionalliga West .

Trivia

Whenever the “foreigners” were listed in the specialist press in the early years of the Bundesliga, Versteeg was not mentioned. In 1964/65, the MSV had Heinz van Haaren and Raul Tagliari under contract alongside him . At the time, only two non-German players were allowed in the squad.
