Football career
Born in Amsterdam, Hoogervorst moved at only 18 from local AFC Ajax to Sporting de Gijón in Spain, after signing a three-year contract. With the Segunda División team he only appeared regularly in the 2005–06 season, also serving a loan at lowly Asturias neighbours Marino de Luanco.
In the 2006 summer, Hoogervorst moved to Real Madrid Castilla also in the second level, but was highly unsuccessful during his brief spell, playing only once as the club was also relegated; in the following transfer window he dropped down to Segunda División B after joining FC Barcelona B, being finally released by the Pep Guardiola-led side in March 2008.
In the 2009–10 campaign Hoogervorst returned to football, moving to Tercera División and returning to former club Marino. He continued to play in Spain's lower leagues in the following years.
