Player career

Feskens began his professional career in 1982 with the then Dutch first division club Willem II Tilburg . After his second season with Tilburg, the club was relegated to the Eerste Divisie . In 1986/87, the club managed to climb back to the upper house as second in the table. There the team achieved fourth place, up to then the best placement in the club's history by Willem II, which was only improved again in 1998/99, then without Feskens. After fifteen years with the Red-White-Blue , the midfielder left Tilburg and signed with league rivals NAC Breda . After their relegation in 1998/99, he left the club after only two years and joined Excelsior Rotterdam , which were second class at that time. Feskens played in Rotterdam until 2002 before ending his active career. In his last year he again made it to the Eredivisie.

With a total of 483 competitive games for Willem II Tilburg, Feskens holds the club record. In Tilburg he is also referred to as "Mister Willem II" by the fans .

From January 2006 he was in charge of the club's reserve team. In April 2010 Feskens returned to his old club Willem II, where he took the post of assistant coach from then on.
