Early career
Zandbergen switched from RKVV Westlandia to Excelsior Maassluis in 2021. On 25 September 2021, he made his debut with the second division team during an away match against SVV Scheveningen, which he won 0–3, as a substitute for Bram Wennekers.[3]
TOGB
After the season, Zandbergen and his twin brother Glenn returned to TOGB, where he had previously played football in the F youth team.[4] At the brand new third division team, he became the top scorer with 19 goals and thus attracted the interest of several professional clubs, including Sparta Rotterdam.[5]
Sparta Rotterdam
In June 2023, Zandbergen signed an amateur contract with Sparta that placed him in the promising team. On 7 October 2023, Zandbergen scored his first goal on behalf of Jong Sparta Rotterdam during a 2–1 home match against Rijnsburgse Boys.[6] A few weeks later, coach Jeroen Rijsdijk let him make his debut in the first team. During a 0-2 cup match at IJsselmeervogels, he came on for Charles-Andreas Brym in the 90th minute.[7] He also played in the next cup round, an away match at ADO Den Haag (2–0 loss).[8]
Dordrecht
In May 2024, Zandbergen signed his first professional contract with FC Dordrecht, which signed him for two years with an option for another year.[9] At the first division team he eventually lost the competition with Devin Haen. Zandebergen played all competition matches, but usually only as a substitute.[10]
VVV-Venlo
On the last day of the winter transfer period, Zandbergen made a transfer to VVV-Venlo where he signed a contract until mid-2026 with an option for an extra season.
