[edit] Sparta Rotterdam
Emnes came through Sparta's junior ranks to make his debut in the 2005–06 season. The 2007–08 season proved to be the speedy winger's breakthrough year, scoring 8 goals and becoming Sparta Fans' Player of the Year.[2]
[edit] Middlesbrough
On 4 July 2008, Emnes signed a four year contract with Middlesbrough for a transfer fee of €4 million (£3.2 million).[3][4] His first full team debut came in the Carling Cup against Yeovil Town on 27 August, getting on the score sheet in the process.
On 24 January 2009 he scored the winner for Middlesbrough in the 83rd minute against Wolverhampton Wanderers, with the score finishing 2–1. He made his first Premier League start on 11 May as part of a 3–1 away defeat to Newcastle United. His next place in the starting 11 with Middlesbrough was against Aston Villa, in which he produced a man of the match performance. He was also given the "Player of the Weekend" award after two successful debut starts.
[edit] International career
Emnes was part of the Netherlands U-17 squad that reached third place at the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship[5]. He scored 2 goals in the tournament.
