Club career

In 2006–07 Hogewoning helped VV Ter Leede win the double in the last season of the pre-Eredivisie Vrouwen era. She moved to FC Utrecht for the start of the new competition, but missed most of 2007–08 with torn cruciate ligaments.[2]

She signed for German Bundesliga side FCR Duisburg in 2011.[3] In 2012, she joined the newly formed AFC Ajax women's team, where she remained for almost four years. She retired from football in May 2016 after Ajax's KNVB Women's Cup final defeat by ADO Den Haag.[4]

International career

On 6 August 2004 Hogewoning debuted for the senior Netherlands women's national football team, playing the first half of a 2–0 defeat to Japan in Zeist.[5]

Hogewoning played in every match as the Netherlands reached the semi-final of UEFA Women's Euro 2009.

In October 2012 she suffered another anterior cruciate ligament injury, which cost her a place in the Dutch squad for UEFA Women's Euro 2013.[6]
