On 30 August 2011, Schepers joined Eredivisie side FC Utrecht on a three-year contract with an option to extend for further two years.[9] He returned to his former team Cambuur on a loan deal before the transfer window closed.
International career
Schepers was active at the 2009 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship for the Netherlands, playing as a left winger. Schepers was surprised he made the team stating that while he played for Cambuur, the other players all played for big clubs like Ajax, Feyenoord, and Arsenal.[4] In the group stages, Schepers came on as a substitute in the 2–1 victory over Turkey.[10] In the 2–1 semi-final victory over Switzerland, Schepers was in the starting line-up.[11] In the final against hosts Germany, Schepers again came on as a substitute, however they lost the match 1–2 after extra time.[12][13]
Schepers was also a member of the Dutch squad for the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Nigeria, although the team failed to progress beyond the group stage.[14] Schepers played two matches at the tournament, coming on as a substitute against Iran and Colombia.[15][16]
