Joshua Eijgenraam (born 18 February 2002) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Eerste Divisie club VVV-Venlo.
Eijgenraam was born in Berkel en Rodenrijs and progressed through the youth teams of hometown team TOGB before moving to the Excelsior academy in 2014. [1] He made his professional debut in the Eerste Divisie appearing as a substitute against Jong AZ at Excelsior's Stadion Woudestein on 20 November 2020. [2]
Following their promotion from the Eerste Divisie at the end of the 2021–22 season, Eijgenraam was given a new contract and an extension until 2025 as a reward for becoming a permanent fixture in the first team. [3] He subsequently made his Eredivisie debut for Excelsior on 12 August 2022 against SC Cambuur at Cambuur Stadion in a 2–0 victory. [4] During the team's return to the Eredivisie, Eijgenraam lost his starting position, featuring in 13 matches, of which only five were as a starter. [5]
Due to reduced playing time, Eijgenraam opted for a season-long loan to TOP Oss in the Eerste Divisie, joining the club on 26 July 2023. [6]
On 14 May 2025, Eijgenraam joined VVV-Venlo on a two-year deal with an option for a third, ahead of the 2025–26 Eerste Divisie season. [7] [8]
