VfL Wolfsburg
[edit]Dost joined German club VfL Wolfsburg in June 2012.[9][10] He made his Bundesliga debut on 25 August 2012, scoring the winner away against VfB Stuttgart.[11] Dost started the 2014–15 season as Wolfsburg's third choice striker[8] and made his European debut[12] in a 4–2 win against FC Krasnodar in the Europa League.[13] In February 2015 Dost scored four goals, away from home against Bayer Leverkusen in a 5–4 win,[14] his first hat-trick for the club in a run of scoring nine goals in 10 Bundesliga matches. Five days later he scored his first goals in a UEFA competition, scoring both in a 2–0 win against Sporting CP in the first knockout round of the Europa League.[15]
Wolfsburg reached the final of the 2015 DFB-Pokal final. Dost headed in the final goal from an Ivan Perišić cross as Wolfsburg won 3–1 over Borussia Dortmund at the Olympiastadion.[16]
Sporting CP
[edit]In August 2016, Portuguese club Sporting CP signed Dost for a club record €10 million,[17] potentially rising to €12 million, and a buyout clause of €60 million.[18] He made his debut on 10 September at home to Moreirense F.C., concluding a 3–0 win;[19] thirteen days later he scored for the third successive game, netting twice in a 4–2 victory over G.D. Estoril Praia again at the Estádio José Alvalade.[20]
Dost scored all of Sporting's goals on 11 March 2017 as they won 4–1 at C.D. Tondela; two were penalties, of which he later missed another.[21] The league named him Player of the Month for March, with six goals in three games.[22] On 9 April, he scored another hat-trick in a 4–0 home win over Boavista FC,[23] and three weeks later another treble won the game 3–2 at S.C.

Chaves.[25] With 34 league goals in 31 games, he was awarded the Bola de Prata as top scorer.[26]
Dost scored another hat-trick against Chaves on 22 October 2017, in a 5–1 home win.[27] On 1 December, he scored the only goal of a win over Lisbon neighbours C.F. Os Belenenses, taking him to 50 goals in 62 games across all competitions for the Lions.[28] He scored another hat-trick on 7 January 2018 in a 5–0 home win over C.S. Marítimo[29] and added another in a 3–0 win over C.D.

In April 2018, Dost ended a run of 45 first time finishes when he took a touch before scoring in a Sporting win against Belenenses.[32] Later, on 15 May, he and several of his teammates, including coaches, were injured following an attack by around 50 supporters of Sporting at the club's training ground after the team finished third in the league and missed out on the UEFA Champions League qualification.[33][34][35] Despite the attack, he and the rest of the team agreed to play in the Portuguese Cup final scheduled for the following weekend,[36] losing 2–1 to Aves. Days later, he terminated his contract with Sporting. However, after the dismissal of Bruno de Carvalho as club president, Dost signed an improved contract.[37]
Dost was voted the Player of the Month and Striker of the Month for October/November 2018, with three goals in three games.[38] In the 2019 Taça da Liga Final against FC Porto on 26 January, he scored a last-minute penalty to seal a 1–1 draw and send the game to extra time; he scored again in the penalty shootout as his club retained the title.[39] On 25 May in the 2019 Taça de Portugal Final against the same opponents, he scored an extra-time goal and missed in the penalty shootout, but his team still won.[40]
Eintracht Frankfurt
[edit]On 26 August 2019, Dost returned to the Bundesliga, signing a three-year contract at Eintracht Frankfurt.[41] He arrived to replace departed strikers Luka Jović and Sébastien Haller, on a fee reported as €7 million.[42] He scored on his debut six days later, a 2–1 victory over Fortuna Düsseldorf, having come on at half time for Dejan Joveljić.[43]
Dost arrived at a club which had lost Jović, Haller and Ante Rebić in high-profile transfers, but combined well with Portuguese attacking duo André Silva and Gonçalo Paciência during his one full season.[44]
Club Brugge
[edit]
On 24 December 2020, Dost agreed to join Belgian First Division A club Club Brugge.[45] He made his debut on 10 January away to Sint-Truidense V.V., scoring the opening goal of a 2–1 win.[46] He ended his first half-season as league champion.[47] His team retained the title in 2021–22, after which his contract expired.[48]
Utrecht
[edit]On 1 July 2022, FC Utrecht announced the signing of Dost on a one-year contract, as he returned to the Eredivisie after a decade abroad.[49] He made his debut on 6 August, scoring twice to gain an opening 2–2 draw at RKC Waalwijk.[50]
NEC Nijmegen
[edit]In August 2023, Dost signed for fellow Eredivisie club NEC Nijmegen. On 29 October 2023, in a league match against AZ Alkmaar, he suddenly collapsed in the 90th minute. After prompt medical treatment on-field led to Dost regaining consciousness, he was transported to hospital. The match was subsequently suspended with the score at 2-1 to NEC Nijmegen. After the match, Dost said he is "doing well."[51] He was not able to play for the remainder of the 2023–24 season, as his NEC contract ran out.
Retirement
[edit]In October 2023, Dost suffered a cardiac arrest while playing for NEC Nijmegen. After two years without playing, and following the discovery of further health complications, he announced his retirement from professional football in September 2025.[52]
International career
[edit]
In August 2012, he was called up by new manager Louis van Gaal for a friendly match in the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels against Belgium but did not feature.[53] He returned to the squad in March 2015 after a spell of good form for Wolfsburg, being named in Guus Hiddink's squad for a European qualifier against Turkey, and a friendly against Spain.[54] He made his debut in the first match on 28 March at the Amsterdam ArenA, replacing defensive midfielder Nigel de Jong after 63 minutes as the Netherlands equalised for a 1–1 draw.[55] On 13 November, away to Wales at the Cardiff City Stadium, he headed his first international goal to open a 3–2 win.[56]
In April 2018 Dost announced his retirement from international football at the age of 28, saying that he had considered it for some time due to a lack of success with the national team.[57]

Early life
Bas Dost was born on 31 May 1989 in Deventer, a city in the province of Overijssel in the Netherlands, to parents of Dutch origin.[2] His family relocated to Coevorden in the neighboring province of Drenthe during his early childhood, where he grew up in a typical Dutch environment.[5] From a young age, Dost displayed a keen interest in football, which became a central part of his pre-teen years. He joined the local amateur club CVV Germanicus at the age of six, marking the beginning of his organized involvement in the sport.[6]Youth career
Bas Dost began his youth football journey at the age of six, joining CVV Germanicus in Coevorden in 1995, where he developed his initial skills over the next six years until 2001.[6] Supported by his family from Deventer, this early involvement laid the foundation for his passion for the game.[2] In 2001, at age 12, Dost transferred to the FC Emmen youth academy, spending six years (2001–2007) there as an emerging striker.[2] During this time, he focused on refining his playing style within a structured professional environment.[6] Dost's physical development was prominent early on, reaching a height of 1.96 m, which complemented his growing reputation for goal-scoring in youth matches.[2]Club career
Early professional career
Bas Dost began his professional career with FC Emmen in the Eerste Divisie, making his senior debut on 10 August 2007 at the age of 18 during a 6–0 away defeat to Go Ahead Eagles, where he came on as a substitute in the 14th minute. In the 2007–08 season, the young forward adapted to the physical demands of senior football, appearing in 23 league matches and scoring 6 goals, including his first professional strike on 8 February 2008 against Fortuna Sittard. These performances showcased his emerging potential as a tall, physical presence, standing at 1.96 meters, though Emmen finished mid-table in the second tier. On 1 July 2008, Dost transferred to Eredivisie side Heracles Almelo for a fee of €300,000, marking his step up to the top flight of Dutch football. He made an immediate impact in his debut on 6 August 2008, scoring twice in a 2–2 draw away to RKC Waalwijk, with his goals coming from a left-footed shot and a tap-in to secure a point for the newcomers. During the 2008–09 season, Dost featured in 28 league appearances, netting 3 goals as Heracles avoided relegation with a 15th-place finish, providing him valuable experience in adapting his youth-honed skills to the higher intensity and pace of the Eredivisie. Dost's development accelerated in the 2009–10 campaign, where he became a key figure as Heracles' primary striker, making 34 league appearances and scoring 14 goals to finish as the competition's top-scoring Dutch player. Known for his role as a classic target man, Dost utilized his height and aerial prowess to hold up play and contest high balls, often serving as the focal point for attacks while transitioning from the physicality of second-division football to establishing himself as a promising goal threat in the top division. His contributions helped Heracles achieve a respectable 8th place, solidifying his reputation as an emerging talent before his move to SC Heerenveen.SC Heerenveen
Bas Dost joined SC Heerenveen on 1 July 2010, transferring from Heracles Almelo for a fee of €2.8 million on a five-year contract. At 21 years old, the towering forward, standing at 1.96 meters, brought physical presence and aerial prowess to the team, complementing his growing goal-scoring instincts developed in his early professional years. In the 2010–11 Eredivisie season, Dost made 32 appearances and scored 13 goals, establishing himself as the club's top scorer and playing a key role in Heerenveen's mid-table finish of 12th place. His contributions provided stability to the attack, helping the team avoid relegation concerns while showcasing his ability to hold up play and finish chances effectively. Dost's form exploded in the 2011–12 season, where he featured in all 34 league matches, netting a remarkable 32 goals to claim the Eredivisie top scorer award and propel Heerenveen to a fifth-place finish, qualifying for European competition. A standout performance came on 29 October 2011, when he scored a hat-trick in just 10 minutes during a 4-1 home victory over ADO Den Haag, underscoring his clinical finishing and positioning. His prolific output drew interest from Bundesliga clubs, leading to a €7 million transfer to VfL Wolfsburg on 1 July 2012.VfL Wolfsburg
Bas Dost transferred to VfL Wolfsburg from SC Heerenveen in June 2012 for a reported fee of €7 million, signing a five-year contract following his standout season as the Eredivisie's top scorer with 25 league goals. He made his Bundesliga debut on August 25, 2012, scoring in a 1-0 away victory over VfB Stuttgart. In his debut 2012–13 season, Dost faced challenges adapting to the Bundesliga's intensity, appearing in 28 league matches and scoring 8 goals while adding 4 more in the DFB-Pokal for a total of 12 goals across 33 games. His form fluctuated in subsequent years, but he peaked during the 2014–15 campaign, where he featured in 36 matches and netted 20 goals in all competitions, including 16 in the Bundesliga. That season marked a turning point, as Dost became a central figure in Wolfsburg's attack, forming effective partnerships with midfielders like Julian Draxler to drive the team's offensive output. Dost's contributions helped Wolfsburg secure the 2014–15 DFB-Pokal, where he scored the decisive goal in a 3-1 final win over Borussia Dortmund on May 30, 2015, and the subsequent DFL-Supercup victory on penalties against Bayern Munich in August 2015. Over his four seasons with the club, he amassed 117 appearances and 48 goals across all competitions, establishing himself as a prolific presence despite periods of inconsistency. In August 2016, amid ongoing form struggles that limited his starts in the prior season, Dost left Wolfsburg for Sporting CP in a €10 million deal.Sporting CP
On 28 August 2016, Bas Dost transferred from VfL Wolfsburg to Sporting CP for a reported fee of €10 million, signing a three-year contract. In his debut season of 2016–17, Dost quickly adapted to the Primeira Liga, scoring 34 goals in 31 appearances to finish as the league's top scorer and runner-up in the European Golden Shoe behind Lionel Messi's 37 goals. Across all competitions, he made 36 appearances and netted 36 goals, establishing himself as a prolific finisher and earning widespread acclaim for his clinical finishing. His prior Bundesliga experience aided this seamless transition, allowing him to thrive in Sporting's attacking setup. The 2017–18 campaign saw Dost maintain his form, scoring 27 Primeira Liga goals in 33 matches while contributing 34 goals from 41 total appearances. Sporting won the Taça da Liga that season, defeating Benfica 5–4 on penalties in the final after a 1–1 draw. In the Taça de Portugal final against Desportivo das Aves, however, Sporting lost 1–0, with Dost missing a key chance despite his season-long dominance. During 2018–19, Dost's output was hampered by a knee injury that sidelined him for several weeks, limiting him to 15 Primeira Liga goals in 29 appearances and 16 goals from 34 total outings before his departure. Sporting secured another Taça da Liga title, beating Benfica 1–0 in the final, though Dost did not feature due to his injury recovery. Over three seasons at Sporting CP, Dost made 127 appearances and scored 93 goals across all competitions, becoming a fan favorite for his goal-scoring prowess. His tenure was marked by earlier contract turbulence following a 2018 training ground attack by supporters, which led to a temporary rescission before he re-signed, but his 2019 exit was a straightforward transfer. On 26 August 2019, he joined Eintracht Frankfurt for €7 million.Eintracht Frankfurt
Bas Dost joined Eintracht Frankfurt from Sporting CP on a permanent three-year deal on August 26, 2019, for a reported transfer fee of €7 million, arriving as a replacement for the departed Sébastien Haller and Luka Jović. His arrival followed a prolific spell at Sporting, where he had scored 93 goals in three seasons. In the 2019–20 season, Dost made 24 appearances in the Bundesliga, scoring 8 goals, while adding 3 goals in 8 Europa League matches, for a total of 15 goals across 43 competitive games during his time at the club. However, his impact was limited by ongoing fitness issues, including a knee injury carried over from his time at Sporting in the previous season, as well as adductor pain and muscular problems that sidelined him for several weeks. One notable highlight came in the DFB-Pokal on October 30, 2019, when he scored a brace in a 2–1 victory over Hamburger SV, helping Frankfurt advance to the round of 16. Under head coach Adi Hütter, Dost struggled to adapt to the team's high-pressing, dynamic style, which demanded greater mobility from forwards—a quality he lacked compared to predecessors like Haller. In the 2020–21 season, his role diminished further, with only 12 Bundesliga appearances and 4 goals before December, often relegated to the bench due to persistent fitness concerns and competition from André Silva. Hütter noted in late 2019 that Dost was not yet at full fitness, limiting his ability to contribute consistently. On December 24, 2020, Eintracht Frankfurt and Dost mutually agreed to terminate his contract early, allowing the 31-year-old to join Club Brugge with immediate effect after 43 total appearances and 15 goals. The decision was influenced by the club's financial challenges amid the COVID-19 pandemic and Dost's desire for more playing time.Club Brugge
Bas Dost signed with Club Brugge as a free agent from Eintracht Frankfurt on December 29, 2020, agreeing to a contract until the summer of 2022. Following a challenging period marred by injuries at Frankfurt, he quickly integrated into the squad, making his debut on January 10, 2021, in a 2–1 league victory over Sint-Truidense V.V., where he scored the opener. In the second half of the 2020–21 season, Dost made 22 appearances across all competitions, scoring 11 goals and providing 3 assists, which played a pivotal role in Club Brugge clinching the Belgian Pro League title—their second consecutive championship. His contributions included 8 goals in 13 league outings, helping the team secure the title with a four-point lead over Genk. The 2021–22 campaign saw Dost feature more prominently, with 35 appearances and 18 goals in all competitions, including 12 strikes in 25 Jupiler Pro League matches. He contributed to another league title win, finishing one point ahead of Union Saint-Gilloise, and participated in the UEFA Champions League group stage alongside domestic cup efforts. Over his 1.5-year stint, Dost totaled 57 appearances and 24 goals for Club Brugge, proving instrumental in their back-to-back league triumphs and attempts at a domestic double, though they fell short in the Belgian Cup. His contract expired in the summer of 2022, after which he departed the club to return to the Netherlands.FC Utrecht
Bas Dost joined FC Utrecht on 1 July 2022 as a free agent, signing a one-year contract and returning to the Eredivisie after a decade abroad, following his successful spell at Club Brugge where he helped secure the Belgian Pro League title in 2022. During the 2022–23 season, the veteran striker featured in 24 matches across all competitions, scoring 9 goals and providing leadership to the squad as an experienced forward. He made an immediate impact on his debut, netting a brace in a 2–2 draw against RKC Waalwijk on 6 August 2022 to rescue a point for his new team. Dost's contributions helped Utrecht secure a solid 7th-place finish in the Eredivisie standings. At the end of the season, Dost's contract expired without renewal, leading to his departure from the club in June 2023 as he sought greater playing opportunities elsewhere.NEC Nijmegen
Bas Dost joined NEC Nijmegen on 23 August 2023, signing a one-year contract as a free agent following his departure from FC Utrecht. The move brought the experienced striker back to the Eredivisie, where he aimed to contribute his goal-scoring expertise based on his recent form at Utrecht. In the early stages of the 2023–24 season, Dost made 8 appearances for NEC, scoring 3 goals across league matches. His contributions included key efforts in attack before a severe health incident interrupted his progress. On 29 October 2023, during an Eredivisie match against AZ Alkmaar at the AFAS Stadion, NEC were leading 2–1 when Dost suddenly collapsed in the 89th minute without any contact from opponents. Medical staff rushed onto the pitch and performed resuscitation on site, stabilizing him before he was transported to the hospital; the match was abandoned shortly after. Dost was later diagnosed with myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle. Dost's recovery involved hospitalization and the implantation of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) to monitor and regulate his heart rhythm, a procedure completed by 10 November 2023. He stepped away from football activities at that time to focus on rehabilitation, with NEC confirming his indefinite absence due to the condition. Despite brief returns to limited play in November and December 2023, including appearances on 5 November and 6 December, ongoing heart issues sidelined him for the remainder of the 2023–24 season and beyond. His contract expired in June 2024 without extension, though he remained associated with the club in a supportive capacity, offering leadership and experience to younger players during his recovery period.Retirement
Bas Dost announced his retirement from professional football on September 26, 2025, at the age of 36, following the expiration of his contract with NEC Nijmegen. The retirement was driven by persistent heart complications from myocarditis diagnosed in 2023, which worsened according to a March 2025 medical scan and led to the inflammation's return despite earlier progress. Dost characterized the experience as a "maddening ordeal" and a "slap in the face," ultimately deciding to step away on medical recommendation to avoid further risks. His final competitive appearances occurred in December 2023 during the 2023–24 season with NEC Nijmegen. Dost reflected on his career with gratitude toward the clubs that shaped his journey, his family for their support, and the emergency responders who aided him after his 2023 cardiac arrest. Across his professional career spanning multiple European leagues, he recorded 523 appearances and 270 goals. No immediate post-retirement plans were detailed in the announcement.International career
Youth international career
Bas Dost represented the Netherlands at youth international level, beginning with the under-19 team in 2008. He made 10 appearances for the U19 side during this period.[6] Dost progressed to the Netherlands under-21 team between 2009 and 2011, where he established himself as the primary striker. Over the course of his U21 career, he accumulated 9 appearances and scored 5 goals.[7] In the UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifying campaign, he featured in 7 matches and netted 3 goals, contributing to the team's strong group stage performance that secured a play-off spot. A highlight of Dost's U21 tenure came during the play-off against Ukraine in October 2010, where he scored in the second leg—a 0–2 win in Kyiv (2–0 on the night), but aggregate 3–3 loss on away goals that ended the Netherlands' qualification hopes despite a spirited comeback effort.[8] His performances in the youth setup drew attention from senior national team scouts following the 2011 campaign.Senior international career
Bas Dost received his first call-up to the Netherlands senior national team in August 2012 for a friendly match against Belgium, though he remained an unused substitute.[9] His actual debut came on 28 March 2015, entering as a substitute in the 63rd minute during a 1–1 UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying draw against Turkey at the Amsterdam Arena.[10] Over the course of his international career, Dost accumulated 18 caps, with four starts and 14 substitute appearances, primarily in qualifiers and friendlies.[10] Dost scored his only international goal on 13 November 2015, netting the opener in a 3–2 friendly win over Wales at the Amsterdam Arena, where he started and played the full match.[10] His appearances were concentrated in UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying—where the Netherlands ultimately failed to advance—and FIFA World Cup 2018 qualifying campaigns, during which he featured as a substitute in several matches but did not contribute further goals.[10] Despite his prolific club scoring record, particularly at VfL Wolfsburg and Sporting CP, Dost's limited role reflected stiff competition from established forwards like Robin van Persie and the team's transitional phase under multiple managers.[11] Dost's final international appearance occurred on 23 March 2018, starting in a 1–0 friendly loss to England at the Amsterdam Arena, after which he retired from national team duty in April 2018 at age 28 to focus on his club career.[12] Although his senior tenure yielded no major tournament participation, his selection was bolstered by prior experience with the Netherlands U21 side, where he had honed his finishing ability.[11]Personal life
Family background
Bas Dost was born on 31 May 1989 in Deventer, Netherlands, to supportive parents who encouraged his early passion for football in the local youth scene. Growing up in a close-knit Dutch household, he developed a grounded personality shaped by family values that emphasized perseverance and balance outside of sports. His parents attended key matches and provided emotional backing during his formative years, fostering an environment where football was pursued alongside a stable home life. Dost shares a strong bond with his siblings, including brothers who have been integral to his family support network, often present at games and personal events. The family has been described as tight-knit, with relatives offering consistent encouragement through career transitions. Dost is in a long-term relationship with Annefleur de Leeuw, whom he met in Groningen during his early professional days; the couple has relocated together multiple times to support his career, including moves to Wolfsburg, Germany, in 2012 and Lisbon, Portugal, in 2016. They are parents to one son: Sep Lewis Dost, born on 30 July 2018. The family returned to the Netherlands after stints abroad, highlighting their adaptability and role in maintaining Dost's personal stability amid professional demands. His family's involvement has been pivotal during transfers and milestones, such as the birth of their child, reinforcing his commitment to a balanced life.Health challenges
On October 29, 2023, during a match for NEC Nijmegen against AZ Alkmaar, Bas Dost collapsed on the pitch due to cardiac arrest caused by myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle.[13][4] He was immediately resuscitated on-site using a defibrillator by medical staff, preventing a fatal outcome.[14] Following the incident, Dost was hospitalized and diagnosed with myocarditis, which required the implantation of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) to monitor and manage potential arrhythmias.[15] He stepped away from professional football in November 2023 to focus on recovery, with doctors initially projecting a six-month timeline for the inflammation to subside.[4] However, a medical scan in March 2024 revealed that the heart inflammation had returned almost in full force, marking a significant setback and extending his absence from the sport.[4] Ongoing monitoring persisted through 2024 and into 2025, as the condition prevented full physical exertion and raised persistent health risks. In interviews, Dost described the ordeal as "maddening" and emphasized his desire to prioritize family life over continuing to "play with [his] life."[4][16] Throughout his career prior to 2023, Dost had no recorded major injuries, though the cumulative physical demands of professional football at a high level may have contributed to his vulnerability. The persistent risks associated with his condition ultimately factored into his decision to retire in September 2025 at age 36.[13]Career statistics
