Scouting Report & Player Insights
Jorn Berkhout is a Dutch centre-back from Heerhugowaard who signed his first professional contract with AZ in 2019 and played mainly for Jong AZ in the Eerste Divisie. He made one Eredivisie appearance for AZ in 2021 before a pubic-bone and groin injury kept him out for 16 months. He joined Cambuur on a three-year contract in June 2025 and now plays for the club in the Eredivisie. Public detail on his style is limited, so he is rated as a solid but unspectacular defender with mostly reserve and second-tier experience.
Made his AZ debut on 16 May 2021 as a substitute in a 5-0 Eredivisie win over Heracles Almelo.
Missed 16 months after a pubic-bone and groin injury in January 2022, returning with Jong AZ in May 2023.
