context_page_description: Anouk Anna Hoogendijk is a Dutch professional footballer who played for Ajax as a midfielder or defender. She is nicknamed Noukie.
  A full international with over 100 caps since 2004 for the Dutch national team, she has represented the nation at one FIFA Women's World Cup and twice UEFA Women's Euro tournaments.
  She played for Bristol Academy Women in the inaugural 2011 FA WSL campaign.
context_section_description: Hoogendijk came to prominence aged 12, as a contestant on the "Geef Nooit Op" (Never Give Up) TV program. She wished to train with FC Utrecht and, after a spell with Saestum, eventually signed for Utrecht at the outset of the Eredivisie Vrouwen in 2007. Hoogendijk realised her ambition of playing abroad when she signed an eight-month contract with English WSL club Bristol Academy in January 2011.
  In February 2012 Hoogendijk returned to Utrecht, before moving on to newly formed Ajax Vrouwen in May 2012. The transfer represented "a dream come true" for Hoogendijk as she had been a girlhood supporter of Ajax's male team.
  In January 2014, Hoogendijk signed for the English club Arsenal Ladies. However, due to persistent injuries she only played in 3 matches during that season in London. In July 2014, Hoogendijk eventually returned for the 2014–15 season to Ajax Vrouwen. On May 30, 2016, she announced on her Instagram official account one-year extension of contract with Ajax Vrouwen.
