Playing career

Scholten is a midfielder who was born in Nijmegen and made his debut in professional football, being part of the NEC Nijmegen squad in the 2006–07 season.

For the second half of the 2008–09 season, Scholten was on loan at TOP Oss. In May 2009 he signed for three seasons at the club.[1] In June 2011 he had the contract dissolved and he signed a two-year contract with Achilles '29 from Groesbeek.[2] There, he won the title in 2012, making Scholten the first footballer ever to win the Topklasse Sunday twice. The same season, Achilles '29 managed to win the general lower leagues championship after two games against SV Spakenburg. Scholten was a starter in both games. Scholten also won the title in his third season in the Topklasse. This also made him the first player to win the Topklasse Sunday three times.

After his second season in Groesbeek, he signed a two-year deal with SV Spakenburg. In 2016, he moved to JVC Cuijk and a year later to BVC '12.[3]
