Career[edit]

Keurntjes started his career at SV DCS and joined De Graafschap's youth academy in 2001. In the 2009–10 season, he played with Jong De Graafschap in the KNVB Cup tournament. He scored the only goal against FC Zwolle before the team went on to lose to NAC Breda. In that period he also made his professional debut in the first team of De Graafschap: a match on 20 November 2009, where he came on as a substitute for Jordy Buijs against Excelsior. He would also make appearances against HFC Haarlem and BV Veendam that season.

On 21 January 2010, Eredivisie club Groningen signed Keurntjes on a three-year contract, with him joining the club ahead of the 2010–11 season.[1] He made his debut for the club in a pre-season friendly on 3 July 2010 against RWE Eemsmond. He came on in the second half and also scored the 0–10 for Groningen.[2] Keurntjes made his official debut for the side on 22 September 2011 in an away match against AZ in the KNVB Cup. He scored a goal for Groningen in this match, as they lost 4–2.[3] The club then sent Keurntjes on loan to Cambuur in the 2012–13 season.[4] After three seasons at Telstar,[5] Keurntjes returned to De Graafschap in 2016, with whom he promoted to the Eredivisie in 2018 via the post-season play-offs.[6] In September 2019, he started practicing with TOP Oss, and became eligible to play for the club from January 2019.[7] Six months later, he moved to the Arnhem based amateur club MASV.[8]
