Club career

AZ

Born in Heemskerk, Gouweleeuw began his early career with ADO '20 and Heerenveen, before signing a five-year contract with AZ in May 2013, having received interest from the club since December 2012.

In August 2015, after being made club captain at AZ, a transfer to Greek club Olympiacos fell through. He suffered an injury in December 2015, one of a number of AZ's defenders on the sidelines.

FC Augsburg

In January 2016 he moved to German club FC Augsburg. He spoke of his joy at the move. He made his debut for the club on 14 February 2016 in a 2–1 home loss to Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, covering Thomas Müller as a defensive midfielder.

On 11 September 2016, he scored his first goal for Augsburg in a 2–1 victory against Werder Bremen.

Following the retirement of Daniel Baier in September 2020, Gouweleeuw was made captain of Augsburg by head coach Heiko Herrlich.

International career

He has played for the Netherlands under-21 national team.
