Ruben Schaken (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈrybə(n) ˈsxaːkə(n)]; born 3 April 1982) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a right winger for ADO Den Haag in the Dutch Eredivisie. He also represented the Netherlands national team on seven occasions between 2012 and 2013, scoring two goals in the process.
Having previously trained in the academies of Ajax Amsterdam and AZ Alkmaar, Schaken started his professional career with SC Cambuur where he played 75 matches before being signed by Eerste Divisie side BV Veendam. He spent three seasons with Veendam, making over 100 appearances for the club, and won the Jupiler League Best Player award in the 2007-2008 season. The following season, following the expiration of his contract with Veendam, Schaken was signed by VVV-Venlo on a 2-year contract. In his debut season he helped the team to the league title, thereby earning the club promotion to the Eredivisie.
Schaken was signed by Feyenoord in March 2010, and he joined the squad on 1 July 2010. The winger made his debut for the club, in the Eredivisie, on 15 August 2010 in a 3–2 defeat to Excelsior. His debut season with Feyenoord was riddled with injuries, preventing him from making a breakthrough into the first eleven.
Prior to the 2011-12 season, Schaken changed his squad number from 7 to 27. He had to wait over a year to score his first goal for the club, opening the scoring in a 4–0 defeat of De Graafschap on 17 September 2011. On 4 December 2011, Schaken scored Feyenoord's second, after Sekou Cissé opened the scoring, in a 2–0 defeat of PSV Eindhoven at De Kuip. Schaken scored goals in four of the last five games of the Eredivisie campaign, against De Graafschap,NAC Breda,Den Haag and Heracles respectively, as Feyenoord secured runners-up spot and entry into the Champions League.
