Mylo van der Lans (born 11 April 2007) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a Centre-back for Eerste Divisie club Jong Ajax.
Van der Lans was born in Delft and grew up in 's-Gravenzande in the Westland municipality, where his parents ran a tomato farming business.[1] He began his youth football career at local amateur club RKVV Westlandia before moving to the Ajax youth academy in the summer of 2019.
Club career
Van der Lans progressed through the Ajax youth ranks and captained the under-19 squad.[2] In August 2024, he signed his first professional contract with Ajax, tying him to the club until mid-2027.[3] On 17 April 2025, he signed a contract extension, committing to the club until 30 June 2030.[4]
Ahead of the 2025–26 season, he was promoted to Jong Ajax, the club's reserve team playing in the professional Eerste Divisie, and was named the squad's captain. He made his professional debut on 15 September 2025 in a 3–1 home defeat against ADO Den Haag.[1]
In late 2025, Van der Lans was called up to the Ajax first-team matchday squad, appearing as an unused substitute in both the Eredivisie and the group stages of the UEFA Champions League.[5]
