Club career

Youth career

Born in Amsterdam, 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 players 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

During the 2008–09 Eredivisie campaign, Snijders primarily played for Vitesse's reserve team. However, in early 2009, the first team's coach, Theo Bos, selected him to play for the main squad. Snijders made his professional debut on 25 January 2009, in a derby against NEC, replacing Mads Junker in the 87th minute of the game, which ended in a 0–0 draw.[4] On 9 March 2009, Snijders extended his expiring contract with Vitesse until 2011.

In 2010, Snijders was loaned out to FC Omniworld in the second division. During his stint with Omniworld, Snijders scored three goals in 11 appearances.[5]

Willem II

In January 2012, Snijders was loaned out to Willem II.[6] 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.

Dordrecht

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

FC Oss

On 1 September 2014, Snijders signed a one-year deal with Eerste Divisie side FC Oss until the end of the season.

Notts County

In July 2015, Snijders signed for League Two side Notts County on a free transfer, signing a two-year contract.[7] He scored in the League Cup against Aston Villa.

Later career

On 21 November 2017, Snijder signed for DVS '33 in the Derde Divisie.[8] He left there in March 2018 and moved to DHSC in Utrecht.[9][10] In May 2020, he decided to return to the club where he had started his youth career: FC Abcoude, in the capacity as both a player and assistant coach.[11]

International

Snijders played once for the Unofficial Professional Suriname national football team and scored 1 goal against Curaçao in a 3–2 defeat.
