Career
Born in Akersloot, and playing youth football for local club Meervogels '31, Putter soon joined the ranks of Volendam – first representing RKAV Volendam before being promoted to the professional team. He later played for RKC Waalwijk, and joined Dordrecht on loan for one season in August 2005. After his loan expired, he was signed permanently by the club. His contract with Dordrecht expired in July 2009, after which both he and the club wanted to extend his contract for another year. However, Putter did not pass the medical, after which both he left the club.

Putter went on trial with Wellington Phoenix in New Zealand in July 2009, where he sustained an ankle injury. He underwent surgery in the first week of August. Although he was expected to make a full recovery, the duration of the recovery was too uncertain for Dordrecht to enter into a new contract with Putter at that time. In December 2009, Putter returned to practice at Dordrecht to work on his recovery. The club then made an agreement with him to finish the ongoing season on an amateur deal. In June 2010, Putter reached an agreement with FC Lienden, which meant that he would compete in the Topklasse. In January 2012, Putter returned to his first childhood club, Meervogels '31 from Akersloot, effectively ending his professional career.

After his retirement from football, Putter worked as a model and took an education as a physiotherapist.

RKC Waalwijk is a Dutch professional football club based in Waalwijk, that is currently competing in the Eredivisie. Its name is derived from 'Rooms Katholieke Combinatie Waalwijk' ('Roman Catholic Combination Waalwijk' in Dutch) and was established as a merger of HEC, WVB and Hercules.

The club was formed on 26 August 1940 and used to play its home games at Sportpark Olympia. Its new stadium, the 7,500 seater Mandemakers Stadion was opened in 1996 and featured the home match against Roda JC. RKC's clubname was also expanded with the name of the town before that 1996-97 season. While considered one of the Eredivisie's smaller clubs, it nevertheless maintained its top flight status for many years. Its home colors are yellow and blue.

At the end of the 2006–07 season, RKC Waalwijk were relegated from the Eredivisie after a defeat in play-offs against VVV-Venlo.

On 3 June 2009 they were promoted to the Eredivisie division after a win in the play-offs against De Graafschap. Though, their spell didn't last long ending in the last place with only 15 points. In the season followed they would finish first in the Eerste Divisie promoting back in the top flight of Dutch football.

After another relegation at the end of the 2013–14 season, RKC Waalwijk finished 20th (last) in the 2014–15 season of Eerste Divisie. However, they didn't relegate to Topklasse (amateurs) because both of the two Topklasse champions declined promotion into professionalism. In 2016–17, they made the Eerste Divisie playoffs, losing 5–2 on aggregate to FC Emmen.

In the 2017–18 season, RKC was placed 16th out of 20 teams in the Eerste Divisie. In 2019, Waalwijk promoted back to the Eredivisie after a five-year absence, after beating Go Ahead Eagles in the play-off finals. After a 0–0 draw in the first leg at home, RKC won the second leg 4–5 away.

In the 2019–20 season, RKC finished in last place, but they survived relegation due to the season being declared void due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the subsequent 2020–21 season, the club managed to avoid relegation on their own by finishing in 15th place.
