Club career

De Lange is a youth exponent from FC Utrecht. He made his Eredivisie debut on 17 May 2015 against Vitesse.[2] In June 2017, de Lange ended his career as a professional footballer, citing a loss of pleasure in playing football.[3][4] Initially wanting to quit football completely, he later joined his youth club AFC competing in the Hoofdklasse.[5] He played there for a season, and then decided to play with friends in the fifth team of AFC, playing in the Derde Klasse.[6]
