Tjaronn Inteff Chefren Chery (born 4 June 1988) is a Dutch footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Chinese club Guizhou Zhicheng.
Chery was born in the Netherlands and is of Surinamese descent. However, when he was three, his father left his wife and haven’t saw him since. Because of this, his mum raised him and his two brothers, Ronny and Tjarck, whom Tjaronn considered them as their heroes.
Before signing a youth contract with FC Twente, Chery played for amateur side U.D.I. Enschede until he left for Twente when he was fourteen in 2002. A fantastic season with the A-Juniors (highest youth level) culminated in winning the national championship in 2007. That year, he played 21 matches and scored 2 goals. Chery was mainly used as a substitute, playing in the same position as Qays Shayesteh.
On 16 January 2008, first team coach Fred Rutten picked Chery for the main squad. On 5 May 2008, Chery won the national reserves championship, captaining his team to the victory. That meant that he received the winner's plate. For his performance, Chery was rewarded with his first professional contract at Twente, keeping him until 2011.
On 26 October 2008, Chery made his professional debut in the Eredivisie, substituting Marko Arnautović in extra time in the away match against Vitesse Arnhem. At the time he entered the pitch, the score was 0–2 to Twente which the match also ended. This turns out to be his only appearance for the club. After this, Chery was loaned out to Cambuur for the rest of the 2008–09 season. Chery then made his Cambuur debut on 16 January 2009, where he started and played the whole game, in a 1–0 win over Haarlem. Chery played a role in a match against Eindhoven on 1 May 2009 when he set up two goals, in a 3–1 win. Chery finished the season at Cambuur, making fifteen appearances.
