Career

Born in Leiden, van Schaik spent time with Quick Boys, ADO Den Haag and Twente before signing for Scottish club Livingston in October 2018.[1] [2]

He made his senior debut on 11 November 2018, in the Scottish Premiership, appearing as a 90th-minute substitute in a 0–0 draw at home to Celtic.[3] Van Schaik joined Scottish League One side Dumbarton on loan in January 2019.[4]

He then moved to Greenock Morton for a nominal fee on 26 July 2019,[5] however, he subsequently left the club only one month later on 28 August 2019 when his contract was terminated by mutual consent.[6]

In January 2020, van Schaik joined Almere City FC, where he played for the club's U21/Jong team.[7] He made three appearances for the team in the Derde Divisie, before moving to Germany and joining Oberliga Rheinland-Pfalz/Saar club SV Eintracht Trier 05, signing on 7 August 2020 until the summer 2022.[8]
