Club career

Ajax

Schenk joined the youth ranks of the Amsterdam club from FC Omniworld (now known as Almere City FC) in 2001, working his way up the youth ranks, he signed his first professional contract with Ajax in the summer of 2012, a two-year contract which bound him to the club until the summer of 2014.[2] Starting his professional career in the reserve squad Jong Ajax, playing in the Beloften Eredivisie. Unable to break into the first team, Schenk was then subsequently loaned out to Go Ahead Eagles from Deventer during the Winter transfer window, playing in the Jupiler League, the 2nd tier of professional football in the Netherlands for the remainder of the 2012–2013 season.[3]

He played his first match for Go Ahead Eagles on 1 February 2013 in a 0–1 loss at home against FC Den Bosch. Finishing the season 6th in the table, his team qualified for the Relegation/Promotion playoffs, where his side was able to secure promotion with Schenk playing in all 6 playoff encounters.

Following his successful stint with the Go Ahead Eagles, he was transferred to the club permanently from Ajax during the summer break on 14 June 2013, signing a two-year contract with the newly promoted club.[4] He made his Eredivisie debut in the 1–1 draw against FC Utrecht on 4 August 2013 at the Stadion Galgenwaard.[5] He scored his first goal six days later against ADO Den Haag on 10 August 2013 in a 2–1 win at home, scoring the opening goal in the 21st minute.[6]
