[9] He made his debut in the Eredivisie on 23 December 2018, against ADO Den Haag, replacing club legend Robin van Persie in the 79th minute. [10] He also debuted in European competition on 9 August 2018, in a UEFA Europa League qualifier that ended in a 4–0 loss against AS Trenčín. [11]

During the 2019–20 season, Geertruida saw more game time, often coming on as a substitute for regular starter Rick Karsdorp. His first start in the Eredivisie took place on 26 September 2019, in a match against AZ, which ended in a 3–0 loss for Feyenoord. [12]

He scored his first goal in professional football on 27 September 2020, scoring Feyenoord's first goal in a 4–2 win against ADO Den Haag. [13] In August 2021, Geertruida extended his contract with Feyenoord until 2024. [14] On 25 May 2022, he played in the UEFA Conference League final which Feyenoord lost 1–0 to Roma. [15] In the 2022–23 season, he was an integral part of the team which won the Eredivisie title. [16]
