Van der Laan played youth football for
JVC Cuijk. Between 2002 and 2005, he was part of the
PSV youth academy. He then returned to JVC Cuijk, where he played with the first team in the
Topklasse Sunday from 2012 to 2015. In 2015, he left for
Juliana '31, and via
FC Lienden he returned to JVC Cuijk in 2017. In the summer of 2018, Van der Laan moved to
DOVO, but a clause was included in his contract that he could leave if an offer from a professional club would come during this transfer period. This offer came from
Telstar, and thus he left without playing for DOVO. He signed a one-year deal. Van der Laan made his
Eerste Divisie debut for
Telstar on 17 August 2018 in a game against
RKC Waalwijk, as a starter. In May 2019 Van der Laan was terminated by Telstar after falsely reporting as sick to training so that he could attend the semifinal match of the
UEFA Champions League between
Tottenham Hotspur and
Ajax in London. He signed with
Kozakken Boys for the next season. From January 2020,
Kozakken Boys put Van der Laan on loan at
ASWH, a newly promoted team that was struggling at the bottom of the
Tweede Divisie league. ASWH remained in the Tweede Divisie as the football season was terminated due to the
COVID-19 pandemic in the Netherlands. Van der Laan moved to
DOVO in the
Derde Divisie ahead of the 2020–21 season. He left the club in April 2021, before the season was over, alongside
Shanon Carmelia and Bo van Essen. ==References==
