Career

Feyenoord

In July 2007 Buijs became officially part of Feyenoord's first team managed by Bert van Marwijk. He was awarded squad number 23. But, after having no chances on the first team, he was loaned to De Graafschap for a half-year period, on 30 January 2008.

De Graafschap

In his first period at De Graafschap he didn't play that much. In the second half of the 2007/2008 season he only played in 6 Eredivisie games for De Graafschap. Although he didn't play a lot of games De Graafschap decided to sign Jordy Buijs. In the beginning of the 2008/2009 season Buijs still wasn't a first eleven player. But during the season Buijs became important player. He played on the left back position but also on the midfield. He scored his first goal for De Graafschap in the home game versus Sparta Rotterdam. He scored the 3–1. Unfortunately the game ended in a 3–3 draw. He played in 28 games in the Eredivisie in the 2008/2009 season. He also scored a beautiful free kick in the play-off match versus MVV Maastricht. Jordy Buijs became a fan favorite and is well known with his rushes down the leftflank and his clever passes.

NAC Breda

In the summer of 2011, Buijs signed a three-year contract with NAC[1] and became an important player for the team. He again played both as a centre back and a defensive midfielder. After three seasons, Buijs left as a free agent as he claimed to be ready for a new challenge

SC Heerenveen

Buijs found this new challenge with SC Heerenveen and signed a two-year contract, having denied offers from ADO Den Haag, FC Groningen and Panathinaikos. However, he left them after half a season by mutual consent for Roda JC.[2] In summer 2016 he moved abroad to play for Romanian side Pandurii Târgu Jiu.[3]

Sydney FC

On 13 January 2017, Buijs signed with A-League club Sydney FC on a 5 month contract, with an option for an extra year.[4] He made his debut for the club in its annual 'Big Blue' Australia Day derby clash against Melbourne Victory helping his team to a 2–1 win at Etihad Stadium.

On the 29 April 2017, Buijs scored his first goal for Sydney FC, in a 3–0 win over Perth Glory in the A-League finals series.[5] The goal was the first ever to be reviewed by the video assistant referee (VAR).

The Dutchman re-signed with Sydney FC for another year on May 15, 2017.[6]

On 1 August 2017, Buijs scored his second goal for Sydney FC, in the 2017 FFA Cup Round of 32 against Darwin Rovers FC in a record 8–0 victory.[7] In the Quarter Final, Buijs scored a free-kick against Melbourne City in a 2–0 victory.[8] On 9 May 2018, Jordy Buijs was released by Sydney FC.[9]
