Career[edit]

Vitesse[edit]

Born in Barneveld, Gelderland, Netherlands, Van de Streek began playing football for SDV Barneveld before joining Vitesse in 2011.[2] In the preliminary rounds of the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League, Van de Streek was part of the first-team squad for the away leg against Lokomotiv Plovdiv but he missed the plane, taking part on the bench instead.[3]

Flora Tallinn (loan)[edit]

In February 2013, Van de Streek was sent on loan to Flora Tallinn for the 2013 season – which ran until November – with Vitesse having the option of ending the loan earlier.[4] He made his debut on 2 March 2013 in the season opener against JK Tallinna Kalev.[5] On 9 March, he scored his first goals for Flora against Paide Linnameeskond – a hat-trick – in the 6–0 away win.[6] On 4 July, Van de Streek made his European debut; in the Europa League qualifier against FK Kukësi he played the entire match.[7] Van de Streek made 36 total appearances for Flora, scoring eight goals as the club won the 2012–13 Estonian Cup.[8][1]

Cambuur[edit]

Without having made an official appearance for the Vitesse first team, Van de Streek moved to SC Cambuur on a free transfer on 1 May 2014, signing a two-year contract with an option for an additional year.[9] He made his Eredivisie debut on 22 August 2014 against Heracles Almelo.[10] He scored his first goal in his second match for Cambuur, on 14 September against FC Groningen. Only a few minutes after on as a substitute for Daniël de Ridder into the second half, he scored to secure his team's 3–0 win.[11] On 15 February 2015, he scored his first brace in a 2–1 win over rivals SC Heerenveen.[12] He finished the season with 33 appearances in all competitions, in which he scored seven goals.[1]

In his second season at the club, he made 33 total appearances in which he scored four goals, as Cambuur suffered relegation to the second-tier Eerste Divisie.[13]

During the 2016–17 season, his first in the second division, he distinguished himself by scoring a total of 22 goals, including two hat-tricks – both scored against TOP Oss.[14]

Utrecht[edit]

On 2 June 2017, it was announced that Van de Streek would sign with FC Utrecht on a three-year deal.[15][16] He made his debut on 13 July 2017 in a Europa League qualifier against Valletta, starting in the 0–0 draw.[17] During the 2017–18 season he scored a total of 10 goals, including a brace away against Roda JC Kerkrade.[18] His goals made him the second highest goalscorer in his team that season, only behind Zakaria Labyad.[1]

At the end of the 2020–21 season, Van de Streek was voted Utrecht Player of the Season by the fans, winning the Di Tommaso Trophy.[19]

Antalyaspor[edit]

On 18 August 2023, van de Streek signed a contract with Turkish club Antalyaspor for two seasons with an optional third.[20]
