Dutch footballer (born 2005)
Othniël Raterink (born 7 April 2006) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a defender for Cagliari Calcio.
Raterink was born on 7 April 2006 in Winterswijk, Netherlands. A native of the city, he is the younger brother of Dutch footballer Elie Raterink.
Raterink started his career with Dutch side De Graafschap, where he made one league appearance and scored one goal. Ahead of the 2024–25 season, he was sent on loan to German Bundesliga side Bayer 04 Leverkusen. Following his stint there, he signed for Italian Serie A side Cagliari Calcio in 2026.[1]
International career
[edit]
Raterink is a Netherlands youth international. During May 2023, he played for the Netherlands national under-17 football team at the 2023 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.[1]
Raterink plays as a defender and is right-footed.[2] Italian news website CagliariToday wrote in 2026 that he “can play both in a four-man back line and as a full-back in a three-man defense. He has a predominantly attacking mentality, due to his physical and technical characteristics. Raterink is 191 centimeters tall, but despite his height and impressive physicality, he boasts truly impressive pace, allowing him to often be found ready in the attacking zone, racking up the aforementioned stats… [he] can cross fairly well and shoot on goal equally well”.[3]
