Career

Twente Born in Almelo, Netherlands, De Visscher joined FC Twente at the age of 14 and went on to sign professional terms with the club at the age of 18. He struggled to make the impact he was predicted to. However, after a successful loan spell at FC Emmen followed, and while he was there, he impressed his coach at FC Twente to the extent that De Visscher was offered a three-year deal with the club. However, he only played 21 games in two seasons, and was eventually moved out on loan to Heracles Almelo, where he helped the club gain promotion to the Eredivisie.
