Career

Hengelman was born in Glanerbrug. He is a youth product from the FC Twente/Heracles Almelo football academy. He formerly played for AGOVV Apeldoorn. When the club was declared bankrupt in January 2013, he joined Vitesse to maintain his fitness.[2] When the club did not offer him a new contract in the summer of 2013, Hengelman found a new club in Achilles '29.[3] He made his début for the team in the first match in professional football for Achilles on 3 August 2013. The game in Emmen ended in 2–2. On 5 August 2014, Hengelman signed with FC Oss.

On 2 August 2019 he signed with South African club Ajax Cape Town.[4] After a 4th place finish in the National First Division the previous season, Ajax Amsterdam parted ways with their sister club. Hengelman was then given a 1-year contract as a fifth choice keeper under Erik ten Hag back in Amsterdam while training with Jong Ajax the reserves team of Ajax for which he is no longer eligible to play due to his age.[5][6]
