In the 2014–15 season, Immers captained Feyenoord for the first time following an injury of their original captain Jordy Clasie and set up a goal, in a 1–1 draw against Heerenveen on 15 August 2014.

[87] Despite the 2014–15 season saw Immers plagued by injuries, [88] [89] [90] he went on to make forty appearances and scoring seven times in all competitions.

However, in the 2015–16 season, Immers’ first team opportunities became limited and was placed on the substitute bench under the new management of Giovanni van Bronckhorst.

[104] At the start of the 2016–17 season, Immers had a handful of first team appearances under Paul Trollope despite struggles to score goals, resulting his demotion to the substitute bench. [105] To make matter worst, the arrival of Neil Warnock pushed Immers out of the first team, who prefers "up front with players" and "didn't have the physical presence of a Rickie Lambert or Kenneth Zohore as centre-forward." [106] On 6 January 2017, Immers' contract was cancelled by mutual agreement. [107] During his time at Cardiff City, Immers became the club's fan favourite. [108]
