Club career

[edit]

PSV

[edit]

Brenet is a graduate of PSV's youth academy, having joined the club in 2011 from Zeeburgia. He made his professional debut on 6 December 2012 in a Europa League game against Napoli, coming on for Peter van Ooijen after 87 minutes.[3] He made his Champions League qualification debut on 30 July 2013 against Zulte Waregem.

In November 2015, Brenet's contract with the club was extended until summer 2017,[4] and in December 2016, his contract with the club was again extended until summer 2020.[5]

He played on 15 April 2018 as PSV beat rivals Ajax 3–0 to clinch the 2017–18 Eredivisie title.[6]

TSG Hoffenheim

[edit]

On 24 May 2018, it was announced that Brenet had signed for Bundesliga club TSG Hoffenheim on a four-year contract, for a fee rumoured to be €3,500,000.[7] Though he made 14 Bundesliga appearances in his debut season at the club under manager Julian Nagelsmann, he did not play in the Bundesliga at all in the first half of the 2019–20 season under new manager Alfred Schreuder,[8] and on 31 January 2020, he joined SBV Vitesse on loan until the end of the season.[9] He played 4 times for the club prior to the suspension of their season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[10]

Brenet made just one Bundesliga appearance during the 2020–21 season, as a late substitute in the first match of the season,[11] and he was moved to the club's reserve team for the 2021–22 season,[12] for whom he made 10 appearances in the Regionalliga Südwest, and scored one goal.[13]

Twente

[edit]

On 31 January 2022, Brenet joined Twente until the end of the 2021–22 season.[14] In July 2022, he signed a new two-year contract with the club, turning down a contract offer from Feyenoord.[15]

Later career

[edit]

Brenet signed for Al-Rayyan SC in September 2024. His only appearances came in the AFC Champions League Elite as he was not registered by the club to play in the domestic league. He left the club in June 2025.[16]

In September 2025, Brenet was linked with a move to Scottish side Livingston.[17] He signed for Livi on 1 October 2025 until July 2026.[18] During his four-month stay with The Lions, the team failed to win a game, and Brenet announced on his Instagram page that he had signed for Kayserispor on 6 February.[19] This was later confirmed by Livingston, saying he "exercised his option to depart the club" for an undisclosed fee.[20]

International career

[edit]

Born in the Netherlands, Brenet is of Curaçaoan descent. Brenet made his debut for the Netherlands in a November 2016 friendly match against Belgium.[21] He was called up to the preliminary squad for the Curaçao national team for the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup.[22]

Brenet made his debut for Curaçao on 5 June 2024 in a 2026 World Cup qualification match starting against Barbados.[23]

On 18 May 2026, he was named by head coach Dick Advocaat in the 26-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, marking the country's first-ever appearance at the tournament.[24]

Personal life

[edit]

In March 2024, he was sentenced to a month in prison for driving without a license on two occasions. His contract with Twente expired at the end of the 2023–24 season and was not extended.[25]
