Born in Oberhausen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Landers began his career at Rot-Weiß Oberhausen. After he had gone through all youth teams, he was promoted to the second team where he played until 2005, before being promoted to the first team that played in the Regionalliga Nord. He made his debut on the professional league level in the 2. Bundesliga for Rot-Weiß Oberhausen on 24 August 2008 when he started a game against FC Ingolstadt 04.

After the 2010–11 season for Rot-Weiß Oberhausen ended with relegation to the 3. Liga, Landers signed a two-year contract with the Regionalliga team Wuppertaler SV in June 2011. In January 2013, he terminated his contract there and returned to Rot-Weiß Oberhausen. For the 2014–15 season, he was captain of the Oberhausen U-23 reserve. In January 2016 he joined the national league club DJK Arminia Klosterhardt.
