Elie Raterink (born 14 May 2004) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a striker for Eerste Divisie club De Graafschap.
Born in Winterswijk, Gelderland, Raterink started playing youth football career at hometown club FC Trias before moving to the youth academy of Twente in 2016.[1][2] After failing to break through at Twente, he returned to FC Trias before moving to De Graafschap's youth academy.[3]
Laterink made his professional debut on 24 February 2023, replacing Devin Haen in the 61st minute of a 4–0 away victory against Eindhoven. Notably, he marked his first-team debut with a goal.[4] In March 2023, he signed his first professional contract with De Graafschap, securing a three-year deal.[5] He remained a backup striker to Haen for the remainder of the season.[6]
Following reduced playing time in the 2023–24 season after the signing of Ralf Seuntjens, Raterink went on a trial with German Regionalliga club SG Barockstadt Fulda-Lehnerz.[7] He participated in a friendly match against SpVgg Greuther Fürth II on 23 January 2024.[8] However, despite his efforts, he was unable to secure a transfer and consequently remained at De Graafschap.[9]
