Ridgeciano Delano Leandro Haps (born 12 June 1993) is a professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Serie A club Venezia. Born in the Netherlands, he plays for the Suriname national team.

Club career

Born in Utrecht, Haps is of Surinamese descent. He came through the youth system of AZ where he established himself as a consistent performer at left-back in the Eredivisie.[1]

In summer 2017, he joined Feyenoord.[2] On 22 April 2018, he played as Feyenoord won the 2017–18 KNVB Cup final 3–0 against AZ Alkmaar.[3]

On 31 August 2021, after making exactly 100 competitive appearances for Feyenoord, Haps joined newly promoted Serie A club Venezia in a permanent deal.[4] At home in matchday 12, Haps acrobatically defused a header by Eldor Shomurodov on the goal line against Roma. An important moment, because the home team took over the game in the remainder of the second half.[5]

On 31 January 2023, Haps moved on loan to Genoa, with an option to buy.[6] On 29 August 2023, the loan to Genoa was renewed for the 2023–24 season.[7]

International career

On 4 June 2021, Haps made his international debut for Suriname against Bermuda. He provided an assist in the 6–0 win.[8] A few weeks later on 25 June, he was called up to the squad for the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup.[9]
