Club career
Born in Amsterdam, Vink began his youth career at local amateur club AVV Zeeburgia before being recruited into the youth academy of Ajax in 2017. He progressed through the club's youth system and signed his first professional contract with Ajax in early 2023.
Vink made his professional debut for Jong Ajax, the club's second team, on 25 August 2023 in a 4–2 Eerste Divisie away defeat against SC Cambuur. He started the match but was substituted off in the 23rd minute for Nassef Chourak after suffering a hamstring injury. Following his recovery, he gradually integrated into the squad and earned more consistent playing time during the 2024–25 season, scoring his first professional goal on 11 February 2025.
Ahead of the 2025–26 season, Ajax announced on 4 July 2025 that Vink had extended his contract with the club, committing to a new deal running until 30 June 2028.[1] During the 2025–26 campaign, Vink emerged as a regular goalscorer for the team, netting six league goals by early April, including the opening goal in a match against title contenders ADO Den Haag on 3 April 2026.[2]
International career
Vink is a youth international for the Netherlands. He has represented his country at various age levels, including the under-16, under-17, under-18, and under-19 national teams.
Personal life
Vink is the son of former Dutch international footballer Marciano Vink, who notably played as a midfielder for Ajax, Genoa, and PSV Eindhoven.[3]
