Dwight Tiendalli (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈdʋɑitinˈdɑli];[2] born 21 October 1985 in Paramaribo) is a Surinamese-born Dutch footballer who plays as a full back. He is currently a free agent following his release from Swansea City.[3]

He is a former Dutch Under-21 international, and was part of the FC Twente team which won the 2009-10 Eredivisie. After his first season with Swansea, in which the team won the League Cup, Tiendalli was capped for the first time by the Netherlands national team.

Club career

Feyenoord and Sparta

In the summer of 2006, Tiendalli moved to Feyenoord on a four-year contract, for a fee of €2 million.[4] After one appearance for Utrecht during the 2006-07 season, he made his Feyenoord debut five days later, in a 0–0 draw against Heracles Almelo. He also made his European debut, in the first round of the UEFA Cup, in a 2–2 draw against Lokomotiv Sofia. On 12 December 2006, Tiendalli was sent off after handling the ball on the goal-line. However, video evidence proved he had not committed an offence, leading referee Jack van Hulten to admit to the mistake and for Tiendalli to have his red card rescinded.[5] In his first season, Tiendalli was sidelined by a groin injury and missed the entire season.[6]

After recovering from the injury,[6] Feyenoord loaned Tiendalli to city rivals Sparta Rotterdam on 25 January 2008, where he was re-united with his former Utrecht coach Foeke Booy. Tiendalli went straight into the starting line-up, putting in a fine display on his debut.

After a loan spell at Sparta Rotterdam, Tiendalli was indeed used more often, but could not make the expected breakthrough he wanted on his return. In De Klassieker against Ajax, which Feyenoord lost 2–0, he was sent-off in the match for a second bookable offence, and was also sent off in the last game of the season, a 3–2 loss against Roda JC. At the start of the 2009–10 season, Tiendalli left Feyenoord by having his contract terminated.

FC Twente

On 14 September 2009, Twente signed Tiendalli on a free transfer, signing a one-year contract, with a view to a further year.[7] A month since joining Twente, having appeared as an unused substitute in the last two matches, Tiendalli made his debut, coming on as a substitute for Dario Vujicevic in the 63rd minute, in a 3–1 win over Heracles Almelo. A week after his debut he scored his first goal and provided an assist to Miroslav Stoch's opener in a 4–0 win over Groningen.[8] In his first season, the club would win their first ever Eredivisie title and Tiendalli would establish himself in the first team, in the absence of Slobodan Rajkovic and Nicky Kuiper. During the season, Tiendalli made his Europa League debut and played in both legs against Werder Bremen, in which Twente lost 4–2, which saw them eliminated in the second round of the competition.

In the 2010–11 season, Tiendalli made his first start under Johan Cruijff in which Twente won 1–0. He would then play three games in the UEFA Champions League. Elsewhere, in the league, he soon lost his first team place, due to injuries and would only make 18 appearances.[9] Twente finished in third place in the Champions League, leading the club to go to the Europa League and process throughout the knockout stage until the quarter final, where he received a straight red card in a 3–1 loss against Villarreal and after the second leg game, Twente was once again eliminated in the Europa League. At the end of the season, it was announced that his current deal with the club would not be renewed after contract talks stalled.[10] A week before his contract expiration, he attended the club's first session of the new season, insisting he wants to maintain his fitness.[11] However, Preud'homme's successor Co Adriaanse offered him a new contract, which he accepted and signed a new one-year deal with the club.[12] After signing a new deal at Twente, he stated that he hopes to make a fresh start under Adriaanse[13]

In the 2011–12 season, Tiendalli started for Twente as they faced Ajax for the second time in a row and ran out 2–1 winners. During the season, he was used more as a left back at Twente. He was released at the end of the 2011–12 season, following the arrival of returning manager Steve McClaren.

Swansea City

On 10 September 2012, Premier League club Swansea City confirmed that Tiendalli had signed a deal with the club until the end of the 2012–13 Premier League season.[14] Tiendalli was signed to bring in defensive cover after first-choice left back Neil Taylor was ruled out for the rest of the 2012–13 season with a broken ankle.

Tiendalli made his debut, in the third round of the League Cup, providing an assist for Danny Graham in a 3–2 win over Crawley Town.[15] Tiendalli has since made three appearances in the league, playing in various positions. Having been on the bench in the league for two months since joining Swansea City, due to Ben Davies and Àngel Rangel first choices in the left and right back position (in which Tiendalli played in both positions), Tiendalli finally made his league debut, coming on as a substitute for Jonathan de Guzmán in the 74th minute, in a 2–0 win over Arsenal. After the match, Tiendalli says he wants to stay at Swansea despite his first team opportunities being difficult for him to come by[16] Tiendalli would then play in the final when he came on for Davies in the 84th minute, in a 5–0 win over Bradford City, becoming the first non-English Premier League team to have won to have the League Cup and the first time a major English cup had been won by a non-English club since 1927 when Swansea's rivals Cardiff City won the FA Cup.[17] A week later, Tiendalli soon become a first choice in defence after Rangel was injured. He soon make a name for himself in a match against Tottenham Hotspur on 30 March 2013.

Tiendalli scored his first goal for the club, in a 3–2 away win over Wigan Athletic on 7 May 2013 at the DW Stadium. Manager Michael Laudrup praised Tiendalli for his performance in response to uncertainty over his future, Laudrup said he expected Tiendalli to move on at the end of the season.[18]

At the end of the 2012–13 season, his agent Sebastien Casenaz told talkSPORT that Tiendalli would not be at Swansea City for the next season after talks had broken down.[19] However, on 28 August 2013, Tiendalli re-joined Swansea on a three-year contract until June 2016.[20]

On 1st September 2015, Swansea City released a statement on their website that he had his contract cancelled by mutual consent.

Middlesbrough

On 26 March 2015, Tiendalli was loaned out to promotion chasing Middlesbrough of the Championship for the rest of the 2014-2015 season. Tiendalli made his Boro debut away to Watford on 6 April.[21]

International career

Tiendalli played five matches at the 2005 FIFA U-20 World Cup Finals for Netherlands U-21.[22][23]

In 2006 he was part of the Netherlands squad that won the UEFA U-21 Championship 2006 in Portugal and he was also named in the UEFA Team of the Tournament.

Tiendalli made his full international debut in a 3–0 friendly win against Indonesia on 7 June 2013, replacing Daryl Janmaat in the second half.[24]
