Vorstermans started his career in the renowned youth academy of Ajax before moving to Utrecht. He made his professional debut for the club on 23 September 2009 in a KNVB Cup match against Groningen (2–4 loss). He played the full 90 minutes, but was replaced by Nana Akwasi Asare in extra time. For the 2010–11 season he was promoted to the first squad of Utrecht, where he made his debut in European football in the qualification match versus KF Tirana. In a game that ended 1–1, Utrecht defended a 4–0 win from the first leg and an early 0–1 lead by a goal from Ricky van Wolfswinkel. Vorstermans scored his first goal for the club in a 3–0 win over Ajax on 23 January 2011, the third goal for Utrecht after a pass from Michael Silberbauer.
