Andy De Bont (born 7 February 1974) is an English former footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He played in the Football League for both Hartlepool and Hereford United.
Career
De Bont began his career as a trainee with Wolverhampton Wanderers, but despite signing professional terms with the club was never to play a first team match for them.
He made his senior debut in 1995 during a loan spell at Hartlepool United. De Bont then made a second loan move in February 1996 when he reunited with his former Wolves manager Graham Turner now at Third Division Hereford United, a move during which he made eight appearances.
Unable to break into the Wolves team he made a permanent move to Hereford in Summer 1996 on a free transfer. He was a regular starter in the team during the first half of the 1996–97 season, that ultimately ended in relegation from the Football League.
He remained with the Bulls for a further season in the non-league before spells at Stourbridge, Moor Green and Willenhall Town.
