Joran Hardeman (born 21 April 2002) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Eerste Divisie club De Graafschap.

Career

Born in Veenendaal, Province of Utrecht, Hardeman started playing youth football career at hometown club GVVV before moving to the youth academy of Utrecht.[2][3] After his time at Utrecht, he transitioned to the youth academy of De Graafschap.[2]

In April 2023, he signed his first professional contract with De Graafschap until the summer of 2024, with an option for an additional year.[4] That same month, on 21 April 2023, Hardeman made his professional debut in the home match against ADO Den Haag, replacing Jan Lammers in the 82nd minute of a 1–0 home loss.[5]

Hardeman had his breakthrough season for De Graafschap during the 2023–24 season under the guidance of head coach Jan Vreman. He made his first start on 31 October 2023, in a KNVB Cup victory over Emmen, contributing to his club's clean sheet.[6] Since then, he solidified his position as a starting centre-back, establishing himself in the team from January 2024 onwards.[7]
