Finn Jesper Dicke (born 14 September 2004) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays a defensive midfielder or centre-back for Eerste Divisie club MVV.

Club career

ADO Den Haag

Dicke was born and raised in The Hague, Netherlands. Having first joined the youth set-up at the club in 2013, Dicke signed his first professional contract with his hometown club ADO Den Haag in January 2022, at the age of 17 years-old. The four-and-a-half year contract lasted until the end of the 2025-26 season.[1] He made his Eerste Divisie debut on 6 May 2022 as a second-half substitute in a 3-0 away defeat against FC Emmen.[2]

Estoril

In August 2022, Dicke joined Portuguese club Estoril on loan, with French midfield player Titouan Thomas moving on a season-long loan going in the opposite direction.[3] He was assigned to the Under-23 squad in Liga Revelação. In January 2023, Estoril made the transfer permanent and signed a contract with Dicke until 2027.[4]

Beveren (loan)

He signed for Belgian club S.K. Beveren of the Challenger Pro League on a season-long loan in August 2024.[5] Beveren General manager Bob Peeters speaking about the deal we quoted as saying "Dicke has a lot of interesting qualities for a defensive midfielder" saying that he "combines defensive strength with strong footballing ability, which enables him to bring balance to a team" adding that "Dicke is a smart footballer who thinks ahead and is also strong in the air".

Dicke made his debut for the club on 31 August 2024, appearing as a 73rd minute substitute for Sander Coopman against RFC Liège in a 0-0 draw, in the Challenger Pro League.[6]

MVV

On 3 September 2025, Dicke returned to the Netherlands to sign a one-year contract, with an option for a further year, with Eerste Divisie club MVV.[7][8] He made his debut on 12 September, coming on as an 82nd-minute substitute for Mats Kuipers in a 1–0 home defeat to Cambuur.[9] On 21 September, Dicke made his first start for the club in a derby against VVV-Venlo, but was forced off with an injury in the 40th minute, as MVV lost 1–0.[10]

International career

Dicke was called up to the Netherlands under-18 squad in spring 2022.[11]
