Club career

Spitse started her career at VV Sneek before joining SC Heerenveen when the Dutch women's professional league (Eredivisie Vrouwen) was established in 2007.[2] After five seasons at Heerenveen where she played 100 official matches and scored 13 goals,[3] in 2012 the Dutch and Belgian leagues merged (BeNe League) and she moved to FC Twente in May 2012.[4] At Twente she won the BeNe League titles in 2012–13 and 2013–14. She was also the club top scorer in 2012–13.[2]

In December 2013, it was announced that Spitse would transfer to Norwegian Toppserien club LSK Kvinner FK from January 2014.[5] For this transfer, money was paid for the first time in Dutch women's football.[6][7][8][9] Spitse became a Norwegian League and Cup champion at the end of the 2014 season with LSK Kvinner. She was also voted on to Norway's Team of the Year at the annual NISO awards ceremony in Oslo.[10] She remained in the club for the next two seasons (2015 and 2016) winning the League and Cup in both seasons.[11]

On 19 December 2016, during the 2015–16 Eredivisie winter break, she moved back to the Netherlands after agreeing a contract with FC Twente to play the second half of the season.[12] On 16 June 2017, she extended her contract with FC Twente for one season. [13]

During the 2017–18 Eredivisie winter break, on 27 December 2017, she signed a two year contract with Vålerenga Fotball, returning to the Norwegian Toppserien.[14]

International career

Spitse made her debut for the Netherlands women's national football team under coach Vera Pauw on 31 August 2006, in a 4–0 World Cup qualifying defeat to England.[2][15] At the time, she was 16 years old and still playing in VV Sneek boys team.[16][17]
