Club career

AZ

Born in Nieuw-Vennep, North Holland to a Dutch father and Surinamese mother, Stengs joined AZ's youth academy at the age of 12, having formerly played for local side SV DIOS and HFC Haarlem.[3] He was promoted to the AZ reserves for the 2016–17 season playing in the third division. That season, he made 22 league appearances, scoring six goals and making eight assists.[1] His strong performances for the reserves were noticed by first team head coach John van den Brom, and on 5 March 2017, Stengs made his professional debut for AZ in a 1–1 home draw against Excelsior in the Eredivisie.[4]

Stengs was promoted to the AZ first team ahead of the 2017–18 season, and he made his first start for the club on 12 August in a 3–2 away loss against PSV Eindhoven.[5] In the 7th minute of the match he twisted his knee and tore his ACL, cutting his first professional season short.[6]

Stengs returned to first team action in November 2018 and reconquered his position in the AZ starting eleven, 15 months after his injury. On 16 January 2019, he scored his first goal for AZ in a 3–0 home win over FC Utrecht.[7] Stengs ended the 2018–19 season with three goals and four assists in 21 appearances.[citation needed]

On 25 July 2019, Stengs made his debut in the Europa League in a 0–0 home draw against Swedish club BK Häcken. He made his first European goal in the return match in Sweden, netting in the 56th minute as AZ won 3–0 and advanced in the competition.[8]

International career

Stengs made his international debut for the Netherlands under-21 team on 24 March 2019 in a friendly against the United States.[9] On 19 November 2019, Stengs made his debut for the Netherlands national team in the UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying match against Estonia, giving two assists in a 5–0 victory.
