Club career

Early career

Kuipers started playing football, at amateur team Hollandia-T in Tuitjenhorn. Here it was clear that Kuipers had a special talent, and therefore he moved to Saturday-amateur team AFC '34 in Alkmaar, who were one of the bigger amateur teams in Netherlands. HFC Haarlem saw his potential, and signed him for their youth squad. Here, he developed so good, that FC Utrecht, were keen to sign him for their reserve squad. His professional debut was right around the corner.

FC Utrecht

The 30th December 2007, Kuipers had his professional debut in the match against Vitesse. The match ended 2-2. Since then, Kuipers played occasionally, and he has been a part of FC Utrecht's first squad.

In the beginning of 2009, he signed on loan until the end of the 2008–09 season for FC Zwolle, where he is to gain more experience.
