Career edit
Van den Heerik was born in Alkmaar, North Holland, and played youth football for amateur clubs Kolping Boys and DEM until the age of 17.[1] In November 2019, he penned a contract with PEC Zwolle that ran until the summer of 2022.[3][1] Despite signing, he only found himself in the match selection on a few occasions without making his debut. Following the expiration of his contract, he moved to Telstar in 2022 after a successful trial.[4]
On 8 August 2022, he made his professional debut for Telstar in a match against Jong Ajax, replacing club legend Glynor Plet in the 81st minute of a 1–1 away draw.[5] However, it was in the final game of the season where he truly left his mark, netting his first two goals for Telstar. His brace played a pivotal role in securing a last-minute 2–1 victory against NAC Breda.[6][7]
Van den Heerik signed a new contract with Telstar on 8 June 2023, keeping him at the club until 2024 with an option for an additional season.[8][9] He swiftly earned a reputation as a "supersub" for the team, notably scoring stoppage-time winners against Jong Ajax and MVV in September and October 2023.[10][11]
