Born in Winterswijk (Netherlands) in 2006, Raterink is a right-back who can play both as a full-back in a four-man defense and in a more advanced position, taking responsibility for covering the entire flank in both phases of play.

He is one of the most promising talents in European football, a promising addition to Cagliari, who brought him to the island to work on his progressive individual growth and development within the team.

He grew up at De Graafschap and has always played for the Dutch club, except for a loan spell at Bayer Leverkusen (Germany) in the 2024/2025 season. With the “Aspirins,” he was part of the Under-19 team (26 appearances between the league and Youth League with 2 goals and 3 assists), while training mainly with the first team led by Xabi Alonso in a top-level international context. He has made 34 appearances at youth level with De Graafschap, scoring 6 goals. This season, he has made 23 appearances in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie, the Dutch second division, scoring 3 goals and providing 4 assists, plus another appearance in the Cup.
