Elijah Jeremias Louhenapessy (born 14 October 1976) is a Dutch retired footballer.

Career

An AFC Ajax youth systeam product, he played a single game for the first team before being signed by Italian Serie A club Udinese in 1997, where he was originally supposed to rotate with Johan Walem in the midfield of their 3-4-3 formation.[1] However, he never made a competitive appearance for the club, and at the end of the 2000–01 season, after a loan stint at Salernitana, he was released by Udinese.[2]

After playing for SC Bregenz in Austria, Louhenapessy moved back to Udine to play amateur football in the area.[3]

While playing in the Italian amateur leagues, Louhenapessy was subject to racist abuse from a player. In response, he "charged up and scored a hat-trick, preferring to react with facts rather than words".[4]

Personal life

Born in Amsterdam, of Moluccan descent,[5] he settled down to Friuli Venezia Giulia together with his partner from Udine after leaving professional football. After having shortly worked as a youth coach for a number of amateur clubs, he is currently (as of 2022) working as an employee for a company in the aluminium business.[6]
