Bio
Rav came through the ranks at PEC Zwolle, in the north east of the Netherlands.
He was involved in the club’s first-team set-up from as young as 15, and made his senior debut as a 16-year-old in an Eredivisie match against Vitesse Arnhem.
Standing at 6ft 3in, Rav is primarily a centre-back, but has played across the backline.
He featured 21 times for PEC Zwolle in 2022/23 season, with the team finishing second in the Eerste Divisie to gain automatic promotion to the Eredivisie.
He has represented his native Netherlands at every youth level from Under-15 to Under-21.
Rav is the younger brother of Sepp van den Berg, also a product of PEC Zwolle, who now plays for Brentford following a spell at Liverpool.
In his first season at Boro, Rav became a mainstay in the side and a fan favourite. His impressive first campaign saw him make 35 Championship appearances, and the young centre-back was given the captain's armband away to Stoke.
Rav also helped guide the team to the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup, and played a key part in the impressive clean sheet against Chelsea in the first leg of the semi-final.
At the end of his first season, Rav was a double award winner, scooping the Young Player and Player of the Season awards, the latter voted by Boro fans.
His second campaign in red was more disrupted by injuries, but he still made 27 Championship appearances and went on to be part of the Netherlands' squad for the 2025 U21 European Championship.
