Noureddine "Nordin" Amrabat (Arabic: نورالدين أمرابط; born 31 March 1987) is a professional footballer who plays as a winger for English club Watford.
He played for Dutch national youth teams and once was called up for the senior national side. On 1 October 2009, Amrabat announced his decision to play for Morocco, whom he represented at two Africa Cup of Nations tournaments and the 2012 Olympics.
Born in Naarden, North Holland, Amrabat was released from Ajax at age 13, having suffered stunted growth due to Osgood Schlatter disease. His father recommended that Amrabat play at the amateur level while studying for a different profession. He washed dishes, made desserts and vacuum cleaned his school while playing for SV Huizen in Almere. At 17, he planned to study Management, Economics and Law.
After making his study plans, Amrabat was signed by Almere's Omniworld of the Eerste Divisie, contributing 14 goals and as many assists in 36 games. In 2007, he joined newly promoted Eredivisie club VVV Venlo, scoring ten times in 33 games. A year later, national champions PSV Eindhoven signed him for €2 million, and he represented them in the UEFA Champions League. Amrabat spent three years at the Philips Stadion before moving abroad for the first time, to Turkey's Kayserispor.
