Career

edit

De Graafschap

edit

Jansen progressed through the youth teams of Concordia-Wehl before being scouted to the academy of De Graafschap in 2000. He made his professional debut on 4 December 2009 in a 3–0 win over Veendam, coming on as a late substitute for Cerezo Fung a Wing.[1] That season, the club managed to win the Eerste Divisie title and promote to the Eredivisie, as Jansen mostly played for the reserves where he was team captain.[2][3] In April 2011, Jansen signed a contract extension with De Graafschap until 2013.[3]

FC Oss

edit

On 2 September 2013, Jansen moved to FC Oss after his contract with De Graafschap had expired. He suffered a concussion in January 2014, after his teammate Marcel van der Sloot had accidentally shot a ball at the back of his head during practice. This sidelined him for the rest of the season.[4] In May 2015, he signed a contract extension until 2017.[5] He became team captain during his stint with Oss.[6]

FC Roskilde

edit

On 4 August 2017, Jansen signed with Danish 1st Division club FC Roskilde.[7] He made his debut on two days later in a 3–2 home loss to Thisted FC, but suffered a serious knee injury after only 11 minutes on the pitch.[8] He made his comeback on 11 October in a 3–1 away win over HB Køge, coming on as a substitute for Nicklas Mouritsen in the 76th minute.[9] These appearances would remain his only games for the club.[10]

DUNO

edit

On 2 March 2018, Jansen joined VV DUNO of the Eerste Klasse, the club from Doorwerth then in the midst of a rapid rise through the Dutch amateur leagues.[11] At the end of that season the team won the Eerste Klasse C title and promotion to the Hoofdklasse, the highest level of Saturday amateur football.[12] Jansen remained with DUNO for the club's four-season spell in the Hoofdklasse, during which it also won the KNVB District Cup East in 2018–19.[13]

In February 2023, Jansen announced that he would retire at the end of the 2022–23 season, by which time DUNO had returned to the Eerste Klasse.[14]

Later career

edit

After retiring as a player, Jansen trained as a physiotherapist and joined the staff of De Graafschap, his first professional club. Ahead of the 2025–26 season he was appointed performance coach of the club's first team.[15]
