Career[edit]
Zitman was born in Schiedam, South Holland, and started playing football as a four-year-old at local club Excelsior '20.[1] He progressed through the youth teams before joining Feyenoord's youth academy at age 10.[2] On 19 November 2020, he signed his first contract with Feyenoord, keeping him at the club until 2021.[3]
In March 2022, he left Feyenoord on a free transfer before making a single senior appearance.[4] Zitman joined up with PEC Zwolle and in October 2022 signed a two and half year professional contract with the club.[5] He made his senior league debut on 7 October 2022 in a 3–0 defeat against FC Dordrecht.[6] Zitman himself said he was surprised by his fast introduction to the first team and had been expecting to play youth team football for a longer time period after joining.[7]
On 16 August 2023, Zitman signed a two-year contract with an optional third year with TOP Oss.[8]
