On 3 March 2020, Reiziger was brought on by head coach Johnny Heitinga as a 90th-minute substitute for the penalty shootout in a UEFA Youth League round of 16 match against Atlético Madrid. He saved three of the penalties he faced as Ajax won 6–5, with Reiziger scoring on the deciding penalty kick.[1][6][7]

Reiziger played his first professional game for Jong Ajax on 19 March 2021, as a starter in a 4–3 win over MVV.[8][9][10]
