Martijn Kaars (born 5 March 1999) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a forward for Eerste Divisie club FC Volendam.[1]
Club career[]
Having previously played for his local team VV Monnickendam, Kaars moved to FC Volendam at the age of eleven. He played for four years in the youth teams of the club, before being scouted by the famed Ajax academy.[2] He progressed through the youth teams, and reached Jong Ajax but did not make an appearance for that team.[3]
In June 2018, Kaars returned to Volendam as his contract with Jong Ajax expired.[4] He made his Eerste Divisie debut for Volendam on 17 August 2018 in a game against Den Bosch, as an 80th-minute substitute for Nick Doodeman.[5] He scored his first goal on 25 September 2018 in a 1–2 loss in the KNVB Cup against Willem II.[6][7] His first league goal followed three days later, as he secured the 2–2 draw in an away match against Helmond Sport after an assist by Teije ten Den.[8][9]
