Struijk joined the Whites from Ajax in January 2018 and made his debut in the 2-0 Championship victory against Hull City in December 2019 after featuring regularly for the Under-23s.

The Dutch defender then made five league appearances last season as Leeds went up as champions and the 21-year-old has taken another step forward this season in already having four outings in the Premier League.
