Ritmeester van de Kamp made his professional debut on 11 March 2022 in an Eerste Divisie match against Helmond Sport. He started the game on the bench, but head coach Alex Pastoor gave him his debut in the 85th minute when he came on for Tim Receveur. [5] That appearance proved to be his only in the 2021–22 season, which Almere finished in 14th place. [6] [7]

On 20 January 2023, Ritmeester van de Kamp scored his first professional goal in a 2–2 draw against De Graafschap. [8] He went on to make 14 league appearances, scoring twice, and also featured in six play-off matches as Almere secured promotion to the Eredivisie by defeating Emmen in the finals. [9]

Loan to Telstar

On 18 August 2025, Ritmeester van de Kamp joined newly promoted Telstar on a season-long loan from Almere City. The agreement contained no option to buy and was activated through a clause in his contract that permitted a temporary move to an Eredivisie club following Almere's relegation. [13] [14] He made his debut five days later, starting in a 2–2 home draw with FC Volendam and providing the assist for Soufiane Hetli's opening goal. [15] On 14 September, he scored his first goal for the club in a 3–1 home defeat to Fortuna Sittard. [16]

A regular during his loan at Telstar, Ritmeester van de Kamp played a more attacking role than at Almere and scored seven goals in 28 league appearances, helping the club secure survival on the final matchday. [17] [18]

Return to Almere City

Ritmeester van de Kamp returned to Almere City following the expiration of his loan spell. Despite reported transfer interest from various Eredivisie sides, no move materialised. [19]
