Richard Stolte (born 8 January 1990) is a Dutch footballer who plays for BVV Barendrecht. He formerly played for SBV Excelsior, SC Heerenveen and was on a loan spell due to a lack of chances in the first team squad.

Career

Stolte was born in Emmeloord, Netherlands. Before being picked up by the youth academy of sc Heerenveen, Stolte played at Flevo Boys, an amateur club from his home town. In the academy he played as a left winger, both on midfield and in attack. He also received many international call-ups from the various Dutch youth squads.

In 2008 he signed a two-year deal at Heerenveen with an option for two more seasons. The plan was to keep Stolte another year in the academy followed by one season in the reserve squad. In the summer of 2009 FC Emmen was interested in loaning him for a season, but first team manager Trond Sollied kept him at the club. With many injuries in the first team, Stolte made his professional debut in an away match against N.E.C. Nijmegen on 7 August 2009, his only appearance with Frisian that season.

The club activated the option in Stolte's contract, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2012. He was loaned out to FC Emmen during the 2010/2011 season. In Drenthe he had twenty appearances in the Jupiler League in which he did not score.

In June 2011 Jupiler League-club Fortuna Sittard announced that it would loan Stolte for a season from sc Heerenveen.

In the summer of 2012 Stolte definitely left SC Heerenveen and signed with Excelsior.
