Club career
Ajax
Born in Groningen,[2] Reiziger began his youth career at local club Be Quick 1887,[3] before moving to the youth academy of FC Groningen in 2012.[1] In 2016, Reiziger moved to Ajax. He signed a three-year contract extension with the club in December 2017.[4] He was part of the under-17 team in the 2016–17 and 2017–18 seasons, before being promoted to the under-19 team. On 26 January 2019, Reiziger scored the 1–1 equaliser in a U19 Cup match against NAC.[5]
On 3 March 2020, Reiziger was brought on by head coach Johnny Heitinga as a 90th-minute substitute for the penalty shootout in a UEFA Youth League round of 16 match against Atlético Madrid. He saved three of the penalties he faced as Ajax won 6–5, with Reiziger scoring on the deciding penalty kick.[1][6][7]
Reiziger played his first professional game for Jong Ajax on 19 March 2021, as a starter in a 4–3 win over MVV.[8][9][10]
He made an appearance on the bench for the senior team, but was an unused substitute in a 3–1 win over VVV-Venlo on 13 May 2021.[11]

While also appearing for the club's reserve side, Jong Cambuur, Reiziger scored a notable goal during a cup match against Dordrecht in January 2025.
