Early years

Born in Lisserbroek, Jansen played initially as an outfield player as a youngster at FC Lisse and played in the academy at Feyenoord from the age of twelve. In 2018 he spent six months with Groningen before returning to Feyenoord.[2][3]

Feyenoord

[edit]

He signed a first professional contract with Feyenoord in June 2020.[4] It was then announced on 24 December 2020 that he would extend his contract until mid-2023.[5] Jansen gained match day experience a number of times over the 2021–22 season, including being a substitute at the UEFA Conference League final in 2022 against AS Roma.[6][7] In August 2022 Jansen signed a new three-year professional contract with Feyenoord.[8]

TOP Oss (loan)

In August 2022 Jansen signed on a one-season loan with TOP Oss in order to gain playing experience.[9] He made his professional debut in the Eerste Divisie against VVV Venlo on 26 August 2022.[10][11]

De Graafschap (loan)

[edit]

Ahead of the 2023–24 season, Jansen joined De Graafschap on a one-season loan, initially to be the backup goalkeeper.[12][13] However, he took over the starting spot from an underperforming Mees Bakker in December 2023.[14]

SC Cambuur
