An agile and stocky technician, he was nicknamed Willem de Springer (Willem the Jumper) because of his athletic footballing style.[1] He played the majority of his career for Sparta.

He played his first match on 25 April 1909.[2] He was part of the Dutch team at the 1908 Summer Olympics, but because he did not play he didn't get a bronze medal.[3]
