Club career

Early career and Ajax

Regeer played youth football for SV Zandvoort and Rijnsburgse Boys before joining the academy of ADO Den Haag in 2015. In 2017, he moved to the Ajax youth setup. [4] He made his professional debut for the reserve team, Jong Ajax, in the Eerste Divisie during the 2019–20 season. [5] Regeer developed into a key player for Jong Ajax over the next few seasons, becoming one of the team captains [4] and amassing 91 appearances and 6 goals for the side. [5]

Regeer made his competitive first-team debut for Ajax on 15 December 2021, starting in a KNVB Cup match against BVV Barendrecht under manager Erik ten Hag. [6] [7] He scored his first senior goal later that season in the KNVB Cup semi-final against AZ Alkmaar on 3 March 2022. [5] He made his Eredivisie debut on 30 April 2022 against PEC Zwolle. Despite being part of the squad that won the Eredivisie title in 2021–22, his first-team opportunities remained limited, totaling 8 appearances and 1 goal over two seasons. [5]

FC Twente

On 9 June 2023, seeking more regular playing time, Regeer signed a four-year contract with Eredivisie club Twente. [8] He quickly established himself as a key player for Twente during the 2023–24 season, featuring regularly as both a right-back and midfielder. [9] His strong performances earned him the Eredivisie Talent of the Month award for September 2023, and he was also named in the Eredivisie Team of the Month for both September and October 2023. [10] [11] [12] He continued as a regular starter in the first half of the 2024–25 season, ultimately making 63 appearances and scoring 1 league goal during his 18 months at the club. [5]

Return to Ajax

On 24 January 2025, Regeer returned to Ajax after the club activated a reported €4.3 million buy-back clause included in his transfer to Twente. He signed a contract lasting until 30 June 2029. [13] [14] Upon his return, manager Francesco Farioli indicated he viewed Regeer primarily as a midfielder. [14] He made his first appearance since returning on 2 February 2025 against Feyenoord. [5]

International career

Regeer has represented the Netherlands at various youth international levels, from under-15 up to under-21. [5] He played for the U17 team during the qualifying stages for the eventually cancelled 2020 UEFA European Under-17 Championship. [15] He made his debut for the Netherlands U21 team on 8 September 2023. [5] As of October 2024, he had earned 11 caps and scored 2 goals for the U21 side. [5]
