Kevin van Veen(born 1 June 1991) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a forward for Eredivisie club Groningen.
A youth product of PSV Eindhoven, van Veen had to work his way through the Dutch leagues, playing for Helmond Sport, Dijkse Boys, UDI '19, JVC Cuijk and FC Oss. Scoring double figure goals each season, van Veen earnt a move to English League One club, Scunthorpe United. Van Veen spent a year a Cambuur, on loan, and a year at Northampton Town before returning to Scunthorpe.
After being released by Scunthorpe at the end of 2020–21 season, van Veen joined Scottish Premiership side Motherwell. In his second season, van Veen was named in the PFA Scotland Team of the Year and was nominated for the PFA Scotland Players' Player of the Year award.
In the January transfer window, van Veen was a subject of a transfer bid from English side Scunthorpe United on 28 January 2015. The move was confirmed on 30 January, with van Veen signing a three-and-a-half-year deal for an undisclosed fee.
On 7 February, van Veen made his Scunthorpe United debut, coming on as a second-half substitute, in a 1–0 loss against Oldham Athletic. A week later, he scored his first goal for the club by chipping past Wes Foderingham, in a 3–1 win over Swindon Town. After the match, Manager Mark Robins commented on his first goal, quoting: "His goal was joy to behold. He is a really confident lad and confident in his ability to put the ball in the net." He scored again on 21 March, in a 3–1 loss against Rochdale. At the end of the 2014–15 season, van Veen went on to make twenty appearances and scoring two times in all competitions.
At the start of the 2015–16 season, van Veen remained a first team regular at the club despite being featured most of the first half of the season on the substitute bench. However, in a 0–0 draw against Millwall on 22 August, he suffered a head injury and had to be substituted in the second half as a result. Eventually, he recovered in time for the match against Colchester United on 29 August, and scored in a 2–2 draw. This earned him the club's Goal of the Month for August. His second goal came on 10 October, in a 4–2 win over Oldham Athletic. However, van Veen soon lost his first team place throughout the first half of the season. Although he was loaned out for the second half of the season, he went on to make twenty–five appearances and scoring two times in all competitions.
