Career

Brittijn was born in Winterswijk, Gelderland, and played youth football for FC Winterswijk, before joining the De Graafschap youth academy in 2014.

[3] In August 2021, he signed his first professional contract with the Doetinchem-based club. [4]

On 10 September 2021, Brittijn made his professional debut, replacing Ted van de Pavert in the 73rd minute of a 3–0 Eerste Divisie loss to Volendam.

In June 2023, Brittijn's contract was renegotiated and extended until 2025. [7] At that point, he had grown into a key player in midfield for De Graafschap. [8] [9]
