PROFILE
![](big/zendenbenitez.jpg)
Rafa Benitez secured the signing of versatile Dutch international Boudewijn Zenden
on a free transfer from Middlesbrough in July 2005.
Zenden becomes the third Dutchman to play for Liverpool following in the footsteps
of Sander Westerveld and Erik Meijer.
Bolo began his career at PSV Eindhoven and collected a Dutch Championship winner's
medal in 1996, before he moved to Spanish giants Barcelona.
Rafael Benitez first came across Zenden when he played for Barcelona and helped the
Catalan club win the Spanish title in his first season at the Nou Camp.
He then moved to the Premiership in 2001 when he joined Chelsea for a fee of 7.5
million, before spending the whole of the 2003/04 season on loan with Middlesbrough,
scoring the winner against Bolton Wanderers in the Carling Cup final as the club won their
first ever major trophy.
He made a permament move to Middlesbrough in the summer of 2004 and scored eight
goals last season including the winning goal against Liverpool at the Riverside Stadium.
Bolo was also voted the supporters player of the year at Middlesbrough last season.
He made his international debut for Holland in 1997 and also won the Dutch Player
of the Year and sealed his move to Barcelona with a series of sparkling displays on the
wing.
