Oscar Moens (born 1 April 1973 in 's-Gravenzande) is a former Dutch footballer who currently holds a commercial position at Sparta Rotterdam.
Moens began his professional football career at first division team SVV in the 1990/1991 season. The team merged with Dordrecht '90, forming SVV/Dordrecht'90 and for the 1992/1993 season he transferred to Excelsior Rotterdam. He then transferred to Go Ahead Eagles in the winter of 1995/1996 as this gave him the opportunity to play in the Eredivisie. At the end of this season he was bought by AZ Alkmaar for the sum of ƒ750.000,- (€340.000).
At AZ Alkmaar he played from 1996/1997 to 1999/2000 as a member of the starting line-up.
Chairman Dirk Scheringa was so contented with Moens' performance that AZ Alkmaar offered him a lucrative new contract, including a payment for his image rights, which was unprecedented for the Eredivisie at the time. He also earned his first National cap.
This contract did not pass the IRS scrutiny however, and a subsequent conflict between Moens and Scheringa resulted in Moens calling in sick at the end of the 1999/2000 season. As a result, he was suspended from the first team indefinitely.
In the 2000/2001 season he was loaned out to RBC Roosendaal. With this club he played 14 games and halfway through the 2000/2001 season, he was called back to AZ Alkmaar where he played till 2002/2003.
Italian Serie B club Genoa contracted Moens for the 2003/2004 season, although he never played a match for this club. Willem II saved him from falling into obscurity by signing him the following season.
