Club career

Telstar

A product of the Feyenoord youth academy, Vlijter signed his first professional contract with Eerste Divisie club Telstar in June 2019.^[2] After having his passport stolen while on international duties, Vlijter could not return to the Netherlands to play for Telstar between September and October 2019.^[3] Partly due to missing practice and struggling to regain form, he did not make an appearance in his first season with the club.^[4]

On 11 December 2020, Vlijter made his professional debut, coming off the bench for the injured Siebe Vandermeulen in the 18th minute of a 3–2 loss to Almere City.^[5]

Years abroad

After a season at Peyia 2014, Vlijter joined Hapoel Kfar Saba in Israel. However after the war in the country broke out, both parties decided to terminate the contract and four months later Vlijter signed with I Lyga club Riteriai.^[6]

Style of play

Upon joining Riteriai, Vlijter was described by technical director Vytautas Masaitis as a "highly technical" player, known for his unconventional solutions, exceptionally quick thinking, and excellent vision.^[6]
