The situation was between PSV and Anderlecht, with three-quarters of the Eredivisie falling off due to the price, according to Hatenboer. Excelsior wanted a certain amount of money, and when other clubs tried to match or beat this offer, many Eredivisie clubs were unable to afford it. This led to Hatenboer being loaned out to Telstar, where he saw limited playing time.

The trainer at Anderlecht was fired four weeks after Hatenboer joined the club. Despite this, Hatenboer has no regrets about choosing Anderlecht. He has learned from his experience and now believes that signing a contract in the summer is the best option.
