Career

Youth career

Born in Breda, Van Beijnen played youth football for SAB, The Gunners, RBC, Willem II, PSV, and NAC Breda, before moving to Spanish club Barcelona B in June 2019, signing a two-year contract with a €100 million release clause. Van Beijnen, the stepson of Frenkie de Jong's agent, Ali Dursun, was part of the deal that sent De Jong to Barcelona as a gesture from the club towards Dursun.

Gençlerbirliği

Van Beijnen moved to Turkish club Gençlerbirliği in January 2020, six months after arriving in Barcelona and without making any appearances for the Catalan side. He made his professional debut on 19 July 2020, appearing as a substitute in the Süper Lig.

Fortuna Sittard

In August 2020, Van Beijnen returned to the Netherlands, signing for Fortuna Sittard. He made his debut for the club – which was also his debut in the Eredivisie – on 5 December 2020 in a 3–2 win over Willem II, coming on as a substitute in the 72nd minute for Emil Hansson.
In August 2021 he moved on loan to Den Bosch. He scored his first professional goal for the club on 22 October 2021, opening the score in a 3–3 away draw against Dordrecht.

Emmen

On 3 July 2023, Van Beijnen signed a two-year contract with Emmen, with an optional third year. The contract was terminated by mutual consent on 28 July 2023, before the season started.

Beerschot

In January 2024, Van Beijnen signed a six-month contract with Challenger Pro League club Beerschot. He made only one competitive appearance for the club during their successful campaign to win the Belgian second-tier title and secure promotion to the Belgian Pro League. He departed shortly after, as his contract expired.

RBC Roosendaal

In February 2025 he signed for RBC Roosendaal, as an amateur.
