Career

ADO Den Haag

Seedorf started his youth career in the famous Ajax academy, before being cut and moving to Zeeburgia in 2010. After two seasons at Almere City, he returned to Zeeburgia before being scouted by Heerenveen in 2015. [1] Four years later, ADO Den Haag signed him, and at that club, he signed his first professional contract on 19 May 2020. [2] He made his debut for the reserves, Jong ADO Den Haag, in the Derde Divisie on 1 September 2019, replacing Killian van Mil in the 60th minute of a 5–0 away defeat against OSS '20. [3] On 1 December 2019, he scored his first goal for the reserves, helping secure a 2–2 away draw against Hoogland. [4] [5] He scored his first brace on 26 January 2020, helping Jong ADO to a league win over UNA. [6]

On 4 April 2021, he made his professional debut for ADO, starting in a 4–1 Eredivisie loss to Utrecht. [7] The team suffered relegation at the end of the season for the first time since 2007, with Seedorf making three appearances. [8] [9]

The following season, with ADO in the Eerste Divisie, Seedorf played more regularly. He also scored his first professional goal, helping the team to a 4–2 victory in the KNVB Cup against Gemert on 14 December 2021. [10] In total, he scored once in 22 appearances as ADO were close to promoting back to the Eredivisie. [9] A penalty shootout loss to Excelsior in the play-off final eventually saw them miss out on a quick return to the top tier. [11]

Telstar

Seedorf joined Eerste Divisie club Telstar in July 2022, signing a one-year amateur deal with the club. [12] He made his competitive debut for the club on 8 August 2022, replacing Tom Overtoom in the 62nd minute of a 1–1 away draw against Jong Ajax on the first matchday of the season. [13] [14] Mainly a substitute through the season, Seedorf made 25 appearances as the team finished ninth in the league table – only five points from promotion play-offs. [9] [15]

In June 2023, Seedorf signed a professional contract extension with Telstar, keeping him at the club until 2024 with an option for another season. [16] [17]
