Regina Maria Juliana van Eijk (born 9 March 2002) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Eredivisie club Ajax.[1] She is seen as one of the most promising Netherlands youth prospects.[2]
Career
Van Eijk started the 2021–22 season as Ajax's third choice goalkeeper, behind Lize Kop and Isa Pothof, but both of them suffered injuries.[3] This led to Van Eijk making her league debut against VV Alkmaar on 8 October 2021.[4] On 2 March 2022, she signed a new contract with the club.[5] On 22 June 2023, it was announced she had signed a one-year deal.[6] She won the NOS Sport Award 'Viral of the Year' after she made a sharp observation about Rafael van der Vaart's comments.[7] In the summer of 2024 she signed a three year contract extension with Ajax.
