Reza Ghoochannejhad Nournia (Persian: رضا قوچاننژاد, born 20 September 1987), is an Iranian footballer who plays for Heerenveen and the Iranian national team as a forward, having previously played for Dutch national youth teams.
Ghoochannejhad represented Iran at the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2015 AFC Asian Cup. He is the seventh highest all time goalscorer for Iran with 17 international goals.
Ghoochannejhad was born in Mashhad, Iran and emigrated to the Netherlands at the age of four.
Ghoochannejhad spent twelve years in the Eredivisie side Heerenveen's academy, rising through the ranks at Leeuwarden clubs LAC Frisia 1883 and Cambuur, before making his senior Heerenveen debut against AZ Alkmaar in 2006.
In the summer of 2009, Ghoochannejhad folded his contract with Heerenveen due to his focus on his academic studies at the Vrije University of Amsterdam, studying jurisprudence and political theory. After meeting Marc Overmars, he convinced Ghoochannejhad to sign for the Go Ahead Eagles.
