Club career

Early years

On 15 June 2017, Bijleveld joined Ajax on a two-year deal, and was added to their reserves Jong Ajax competing in the second-tier Eerste Divisie. [6] He made his professional debut for Jong Ajax on 18 August 2017 in a 2–1 away win over Cambuur. [7] On 25 September 2017, Bijleveld scored his first professional goal, helping his team to a 1–1 home draw against Telstar. [8] Jong Ajax won the Eerste Divisie title in the 2017–18 season, but could, however, not win promotion due to Dutch league rules. [9]

Heracles Almelo

On 21 June 2019, Bijleveld signed a two-year contract with Eredivisie club Heracles Almelo.

He was more involved in the 2020–21 season, making 22 appearances of which 13 as a starter. [2] He lost his starting spot at the end of the season, and without making a decisive impact for Heracles, he left the club as a free agent as his contract expired in June 2021. [13]
