On 27 July 2017, Hardeveld signed a two-year contract with an option for an additional season with Heracles Almelo in July 2017.
On 29 June 2021, he moved to Emmen on a two-year contract with an option for the third year.
On 2 September 2024, Hardeveld joined Eerste Divisie club Telstar. He made his debut for the club on 8 September, replacing Devon Koswal in the 68th minute of a 4–0 win over MVV.
