Club career

Youth career

Born in Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, Snijders started his career at local amateur club JOS Watergraafsmeer. He moved to FC Abcoude as a youngster, an amateur club known for developing top class player like Edson Braafheid, Jeffrey Sarpong and Serginho Greene. Snijders was discovered by AZ, and joined their youth academy. Because of a conflict with Michel Doesburg, Snijders decided to leave for Vitesse's youth department, Vitesse/AGOVV. After a short time, he was promoted to the reserve squad. In 2008, he was picked for Vitesse's first team together with fellow team-mates Ricky van Wolfswinkel, Nicky Kuiper and Alexander Büttner.

Vitesse

In the 2008–09 Eredivisie season, he played mostly for the reserves, but in first months of 2009 he was picked for the first team by manager Theo Bos. On 25 January 2009, Snijders makes his debut in professional football, when he replaces Mads Junker in the 87th minute in the derby match against N.E.C. The match ends in a 00 draw.[2] On 9 March 2009, he extends his contract with Vitesse to 1 July 2011.

In 2010, Snijders is loaned out to FC Omniworld.[3] He plays 11 matches for the second division side, in which he scores three goals.

Willem II

In January 2012, Snijders is loaned out to Willem II.[4] After the end of the 2011-12 season, he turned his loan switch into a permanent deal. However, he was released after one season, having played 23 matches in which he scored twice.

FC Dordrecht

In November 2013, Snijders signed a deal with Eerste Divisie side FC Dordrecht until the end of the season.
