Almere City

On 3 August 2019, Kaandorp signed a two-year contract with an option for an additional year with Eerste Divisie club Almere City. [6] He made his debut for the club on 16 August, replacing Torino Hunte in the 89th minute of a 3–2 victory against Jong PSV. [7] [8] The following week, he made his debut for the reserve team, Jong Almere City, in the Derde Divisie, starting in a 6–0 win over ONS Sneek. [9] On 27 September, Kaandorp scored his first goals for Almere, netting a brace to secure a 3–2 win over Dordrecht. [10]

De Graafschap

On 20 July 2021, Kaandorp signed a two-year contract with an option for an additional year with De Graafschap. [11] [2] He made his debut on 7 August, the first matchday of the season, replacing Danny Verbeek in the 85th minute of a 3–0 home loss to Roda JC. [12] [13] On 25 March 2022, he scored his first goal for the Superboeren, which proved decisive in their 2–1 away win against Eindhoven.

In the following season, Kaandorp initially lost his starting spot under new head coach Adrie Poldervaart but reclaimed it in November 2022.

[22] [23] On 22 September, he scored his first goal for Telstar in a 1–1 away draw against ADO Den Haag.
