[1] He made his professional debut on 9 May 2003 in a second-tier Eerste Divisie match against Stormvogels Telstar. In the 2007–08 season, he scored twelve goals in 34 appearances. Van Zaanen thus played a key role in the promotion of FC Volendam to the Eredivisie for the 2008–09 season.

[3] Van Zaanen signed a two-year contract with Willem II in June 2010 with an option for another season. [4] On 7 August 2010, he made his debut for the club against Heracles Almelo. In the winter break of the 2011–12 season, van Zaanen moved to Fortuna Sittard on loan. [5] After completing his loan deal in June 2012, he signed a one-year contract with Almere City. [6] He left the club as his contract expired.

Van Zaanen's professional career came to an end in 2014, after having been a free agent for almost a year after leaving Almere City. He went to play for another year as an amateur in the United States with the Cincinnati Dutch Lions. [7] and then played at amateur level for Kozakken Boys and Achilles Veen before retiring permanently in 2017. [8] [9]
