Maarten Pouwels (born 28 August 1998) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a forward.[2]

Club career[edit]

Pouwels played for SV Dalfsen from 2003 to 2018. In the summer of 2018, he joined Go Ahead Eagles, signing a one-year amateur contract.[3] The forward made his league debut against Jong FC Utrecht. Where he came on for Thomas Verheydt fifteen minutes before the end. Pouwels made it 4–0 eight minutes before the end on a pass from Jaroslav Navrátil.[4][5] On August 31, 2018, he came in for Verheydt after sixty-six minutes against MVV Maastricht. Four minutes after his entrance, Pouwels scored the winning goal, on a pass from Istvan Bakx.[6] He then signed a two-year contract.[7]

After the end of this contract, the striker decided to leave the Deventer club behind. In August, he signed with SC Cambuur for two seasons, with an option for an additional year.[8] Pouwels played nine games for Cambuur, which won the championship and were promoted to the Eredivisie.[9] The striker himself did not continue to that competition with the club, as he was allowed to leave transfer-free and signed with Almere City.[10]

In May 2023, he was acquired by Louisville City, playing in the American USL Championship.[2] He scored his first goal for American side on 3 September against the Colorado Springs Switchbacks.[11] He left Louisville following the 2023 season.[12]
