Youth career
Born in Breda,[2] Van Beijnen played youth football for SAB, The Gunners, RBC,[3] Willem II, PSV, and NAC Breda,[4] before moving to Spanish club Barcelona B in June 2019, signing a two-year contract with a €100 million release clause.[5][6] Van Beijnen, the stepson of Frenkie de Jong's agent, Ali Dursun, was part of the deal that sent De Jong to Barcelona as a gesture from the club towards Dursun.[7][8]
Gençlerbirliği
Van Beijnen moved to Turkish club Gençlerbirliği in January 2020, six months after arriving in Barcelona and without making any appearances for the Catalan side.[7] He made his professional debut on 19 July 2020, appearing as a substitute in the Süper Lig.[9]
Fortuna Sittard
In August 2020, Van Beijnen returned to the Netherlands, signing for Fortuna Sittard.[10] He made his debut for the club – which was also his debut in the Eredivisie – on 5 December 2020 in a 3–2 win over Willem II, coming on as a substitute in the 72nd minute for Emil Hansson.[11][12]
In August 2021 he moved on loan to Den Bosch.[13] He scored his first professional goal for the club on 22 October 2021, opening the score in a 3–3 away draw against Dordrecht.[14][15]
Emmen
On 3 July 2023, Van Beijnen signed a two-year contract with Emmen, with an optional third year.[16] The contract was terminated by mutual consent on 28 July 2023, before the season started.[17]
Beerschot
In January 2024, Van Beijnen signed a six-month contract with Challenger Pro League club Beerschot.[18] He made only one competitive appearance for the club during their successful campaign to win the Belgian second-tier title and secure promotion to the Belgian Pro League.[1][19] He departed shortly after, as his contract expired.[20]
RBC Roosendaal
In February 2025 he signed for RBC Roosendaal, as an amateur.[21]
