Serginho Greene (Dutch pronunciation: [sɛrˈdʒiɲoː ˈɡrin]; born 24 June 1982 in Amsterdam) is a Dutch footballer, who currently plays for Eerste Divisie side RKC Waalwijk.
Greene's life was all about football since he was a little kid, growing up in the south-eastern part of Amsterdam where playing street football was a daily routine. He was never interested in other sports like tennis or basketball, but totally in love with football. He loved to play with the ball and work on his technique by doing tricks or playing matches on the streets of Amsterdam.
At six, his father took him to FC Abcoude where he played in their youth squads until he was twelve, before joining Ajax Amsterdam's famous football school. He cruised through all youth squads until the A1 squad where they told him he was too good for Ajax' reserve team, but was not yet able to make the step towards their first team. They offered him to join HFC Haarlem on loan, but he wasn't keen on such a move. Eventually he decided to go there and to start his professional career.
At Haarlem he spent one season in de Eerste Divisie, playing 34 matches and scoring one goal. He still had a three-year remaining contract at Ajax which he gave up, because he did not want to play in the Eerste Divisie any longer. Ajax decided to release him and fellow Eredivisie contenders RKC Waalwijk showed interest in him. Working with Martin Jol, Željko Petrović (who still was a player at RKC in those days) and Erwin Koeman he learned a lot about professional football and he developed quickly.
Greene played on many positions during his RKC spell. In his first season at the club he played as a left fullback, while in his second season he played both in the centre of defence and as a right fullback. During his second season at the club he became one of RKC's key players and teams like VfL Wolfsburg, Tottenham Hotspur, Galatasaray,Hamburger SV,Rangers,AZ Alkmaar and Feyenoord Rotterdam showed interest in signing him. Eventually Feyenoord announced signing Greene on a free transfer on 14 April 2005. The main reasons for Greene to join Feyenoord were the club's reputation and their well known fanatic supporters.
