Career

Telstar

Van de Loo was born on 22 March 2003 in Nieuw-Vennep, North Holland, and played youth football for Alphense Boys. During his time in the under-18s, he was coached by former professional footballer Julian Jenner.[2]

In 2021, Van de Loo joined Telstar's youth academy.[3] On 14 August 2023, he made his professional debut, replacing Zakaria Eddahchouri in the 76th minute of a 1–0 loss to Jong PSV in the Eerste Divisie.[4] Van de Loo quickly became a regular starter in head coach Mike Snoei's squad.[5] His first assist came on 29 September, contributing to a 3–2 win against Jong Ajax by setting up Danzell Gravenberch's goal for a 2–1 lead.[6][7] Later, on 28 November 2023, he inked his inaugural professional contract with Telstar, committing to the club until 2026.[8][3] Van de Loo then scored his first professional goal on 26 February 2024, contributing to a 3–0 away victory against Jong Ajax.[9]

RKC Waalwijk

On 17 June 2024, Eredivisie club RKC Waalwijk announced that Van de Loo had signed a four-year contract with the club.[10][11] Following the announcement, he expressed his content with the move, stating, "I see a lot of room for my personal and professional development, and I have a lot of confidence that I can realise my potential at RKC Waalwijk."[10]

Van de Loo made his competitive debut for the club on 30 August 2024, replacing Reuven Niemeijer in the 74th minute of a 3–0 home loss to AZ.[12] On 29 September, he made his first start for RKC, playing in attacking midfield in a 2–0 home loss to Ajax.[13] He scored his first goal for the club on 26 January 2025, contributing to a 2–0 home victory over Willem II.[14] Van de Loo finished the season with two goals in 29 appearances across all competitions, as RKC were relegated to the Eerste Divisie.[15] In the club's final league match of the campaign—a 5–3 win over Go Ahead Eagles in which he scored—he sustained a serious knee injury that ruled him out for an extended period.[16][17]
