Biography
Eloy Victor Room (born 6 February 1989) is a professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for USL Championship club Miami FC. Born in the Netherlands, he plays for the Curaçao national team. He is Curaçao's joint most capped player along with Leandro Bacuna.
Vitesse Room joined Vitesse at age 13, having played for numerous clubs, including SCE Nijmegen, local rivals NEC Nijmegen, and VV Union. After impressing for the Vitesse youth sides, Room was promoted to the first-team squad for the 2008–09 campaign. On 8 March 2009, Room made his Vitesse debut in a 1–0 defeat against Volendam, replacing the injured Piet Velthuizen in the 13th minute. On 18 April 2009, Room was given his first Vitesse start by manager Theo Bos in a 2–1 victory against AZ. Room made his breakthrough in the Vitesse first-team squad in the 2010–11 campaign, following Velthuizen's departure to Spanish side Hércules, appearing 33 times in the league of a possible 34. However, after only a year, Velthuizen rejoined the Dutch side after struggling to adapt in Spain, displacing Room once again.
