Born in Winschoten, Kolder progressed through the youth departments of VV Bato and WVV 1896 – both based in his hometown – before moving to the academy of BV Veendam in 1995, where he played for two years.[1] On 4 October 1997, at the age of sixteen, he made his professional debut in the first team of Veendam in a 4–3 win in the Eerste Divisie over ADO Den Haag. He came on as a substitute in the 66th minute for Bert Stokkingreef.[2] He played nine and a half seasons for the club, after which he moved to FC Groningen in 2007, where he would make his debut in the Eredivisie. On 20 September 2007, Kolder made his European debut when Groningen played against Fiorentina, coming on in the 90th minute for Erik Nevland.[3]

After Kolder moved to VVV-Venlo in 2008, he also experienced promotion to the Eredivisie.[4] On 10 August 2013, after having scored 126 goals in the Eerste Divisie, he scored his first goal in the Eredivisie, when he played against ADO Den Haag with his new team, Go Ahead Eagles.[5][6] On 7 June 2015, it was announced that Kolder had signed with FC Emmen.[7]

From the 2016–17 season, Kolder began playing at amateur level for Veendam 1894.[8] After the 2019–20 season he retired.[9]
