Kaj Ramsteijn (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈkɑi rɑmˈstɛin]; born 17 January 1990) is a Dutch footballer who plays as a centre-back for Derde Divisie club IJsselmeervogels.
Kaj Ramsteijn started at the age of 10 in the Feyenoord youth academy, coming over from DWO Zoetermeer. As a central defender he faced a lot of competition in the first squad of Feyenoord. Mid June 2010 he transferred to SBV Excelsior. He signed a 2-year contract that will keep him at SBV Excelsior until the summer of 2012. He made his professional début on 22 September 2010 in a match against WKE Emmen. His début in the starting 11 was on 24 October 2010 against Ajax. Ramsteijn made his first goal in a match against Willem II on 27 November 2010. The game ended in a 1–1 draw. After his first season at professional level, Ramsteijn was rewarded for his good season with a transfer to his former club Feyenoord, who has an extensive partnership agreement with Excelsior, together with team-mates Guyon Fernandez and Miquel Nelom.
In 2013, he was hired by Sparta Rotterdam[2] and a year prior to it signed a two-year contract with Feyenoord.[3]
