Rai Vloet (born 8 May 1995) is a Dutch professionalfootballer who plays as anattacking midfielder.
Vloet was born inSchijndel. He made his professional debut asJong PSV player in the second division on 20 September 2013 againstFC Den Bosch coming on as a substitute in the 74th minute.[2]
On 20 September 2016, while on loan atFC Eindhoven, Rai Vloet scored a goal in the 87th minute against FC Den Bosch, coached by his fatherWiljan Vloet, to win 3–2 in the2016–17 KNVB Cup. For the 2017–18 season he joinedNAC Breda.
On 15 August 2018, after signing to Swiss clubChiasso, Vloet was bought by Italian sideFrosinone.[3][4] In January 2019, he left Frosinone by mutual consent.
On 4 February 2019, Vloet was signed by Belgian sideSint-Truiden as a free agent.
On 13 July 2019, he joinedEerste Divisie clubExcelsior on a one-year contract with an option for another year.[5]
On 22 June 2020, he joinedEredivisie clubHeracles Almelo.[6]
On 25 March 2022,FC Astana announced the signing of Vloet.[7] On 6 September 2022, Astana announced that Vloet had moved toUral Yekaterinburg after they had exercised a release clause in Vloet contract.[8]
Vloet's contract with Ural was terminated by mutual consent in June 2024, following the club's relegation from theRussian Premier League.[9]
Vloet was one of two men arrested on 14 November 2021 after the car in which both men were travelling was involved in a fatal collision with another vehicle on theA4 motorway nearHoofddorp that resulted in the death of a four-year-old boy.[10] In January 2022, Vloet's clubHeracles Almelo suspended him with immediate effect after being confronted with the police report by newspaperDe Telegraaf.[11] According to the police report, Vloet and the other man had stated that they did not drive the car.[11] A breath test showed that Vloet had twice the permitted blood alcohol level and the on-board computer of Vloet's car showed that the driving speed was 193 kilometers per hour while the Netherlands has a speed limit of 130 km/h.[11][12]
In March 2023, thePublic Ministry demanded a prison sentence of three years and six months and a four-year driving ban for Vloet for causing the fatal accident.[13] On 3 April 2023, he was sentenced to two years and six months in prison and received a four-year driving ban. The sentence was reduced as the court considered the impact of the intense media attention on Vloet's professional career and the remorse he showed during the trial.[14] On 9 September 2024, Vloet withdrew his appeal, and the Public Ministry followed suit, partly out of consideration for the victims' families, thereby upholding the sentence.[12]
