Tristan van Gilst (born 18 February 2003) is a South African professional footballer who plays as a winger for Eerste Divisie club De Graafschap.
Born in Amsterdam, Van Gilst started playing football for FC Aalsmeer before joining AFC's youth academy. [2] In 2021, he signed with the under-21 team of PEC Zwolle. [3]
On 30 April 2022, Van Gilst made his professional debut for PEC's first-team, replacing Chardi Landu in the 69th minute of a 3–0 away loss against Ajax in the Eredivisie. [4] He signed his first professional contract at the end of the season; a one-year deal with an option for an additional season. [5] [6] This remained his only first-team appearance for the club, as he would mainly appear for the under-21s the following season, scoring nine goals and assisting five in 23 appearances. [7] [1]
On 30 June 2023, Van Gilst signed a one-year contract with an option for an additional season with Eerste Divisie club De Graafschap.

[8] On 29 September 2023, he eventually made his debut for the Superboeren, replacing Başar Önal in the 81st minute of a 0–0 league draw against Roda JC. [9] [10] He made his first ever start on 20 October, replacing David Flakus Bosilj in attack, after the latter had recently returned from international duty.

On 22 January 2024, Van Gilst scored his first professional goals—a brace—contributing to a 4–2 win over Jong PSV. [12]
