Career

edit

Born in Rotterdam, Esajas joined the Feyenoord youth academy at age seven, developing there for ten years.[2] In January 2020, he joined 2. Bundesliga club 1. FC Nürnberg's under-19 team,[3] but returned to the Netherlands six months later, signing with AZ's youth team for another brief stint before leaving in summer 2021.[2]

In August 2022, Esajas trialled with ADO Den Haag and later signed a one-and-a-half-year deal in January 2023, joining their under-21 side.[4][2] He made his professional debut on 11 August 2023, starting in a 0–0 draw against De Graafschap in the Eerste Divisie.[5][6][7] He made four appearances that season, mostly as a substitute.[8] In March 2024, he trialled with Emmen, though it did not lead to a contract.[9]

In July 2024, Esajas signed with Eredivisie club Fortuna Sittard, and directly joined Eerste Divisie club MVV on a one-season loan deal.[10][11][12] He made his debut for De Sterrendragers on 8 September 2024, replacing Rayan Buifrahi in the 60th minute of a 4–0 away loss to Telstar.[13][14]
