Club career
Early career
Van-der-Sluis signed for Manchester United as an eight-year-old in 2009. A boyhood Liverpool fan, he moved to the Reds' academy in 2010 and spent five seasons with the club.
After leaving Liverpool in 2015, Van-der-Sluis joined Swansea City and moved to South Wales for four years, leaving at the expiration of his contract in 2019.[1]
He also played in the English non-league system, for Northwich Victoria, Runcorn Linnets and Merthyr Town.[2]
Bangor City
In 2021, Van-der-Sluis came back to his native North Wales and signed for Cymru Leagues club Bangor City, quickly establishing himself as club-captain. However, following a Football Association of Wales league suspension that stopped the club from playing matches, Van-der-Sluis left the club in early 2022.[3]
Shelbourne
On 16 June 2022, Van-der-Sluis signed for League of Ireland Premier Division club Shelbourne.[4][5] On 26 August 2022, he made his debut for Shelbourne, keeping a clean sheet in a 4-0 FAI Cup win against Bonagee United.[6] On 30 November 2022, he renewed his contract with Shelbourne for the upcoming 2023 season.
In June 2023, it was announced that he had left the club without making a league appearance, in order to participate on Love Island; Shelbourne manager Damien Duff said Van-der-Sluis would not be returning to the club.[7]
International career
He has represented Wales at U15, U16 and U17 level a total of 10 times, winning the Victory Shield in 2015.[8]
Personal life
Van-der-Sluis is the younger brother of former footballer Jamie Reed.
Love Island
In 2023, Van-der-Sluis was confirmed as a contestant on the tenth series of Love Island, entering the villa as a "bombshell" on Day 11.[9] He was dumped alongside Abi Moores on Day 52.[10] Less than a month after being dumped from British version, Van-der-Sluis joined the fifth series of Love Island USA. He was eliminated after just one week.[11] He then took part in the spin-off Love Island Games.[12] Since Van-der-Sluis has appeared on three different versions on the Love Island franchise in under three months, he is the one of the most frequent contestant to appear in the show's history.[13]
