Club career
Early career
Born and raised in Almere Haven to parents from Aruba, Dankerlui began his football career with local SV Almere before transferring to nearby FC Omniworld in 2005.[2] In 2010 the club was then rebranded as Almere City FC, from where Dankerlui transferred to the youth ranks of partner club AFC Ajax at the age of 16 two years later.[3]
Ajax
While registered as part of the clubs' B1 selection (under-17 team), he made his professional debut in the Dutch Eerste Divisie on 22 October 2013, playing for the reserves team Jong Ajax as a 69th-minute substitute for Derwin Martina, in a 5–1 away loss against VVV-Venlo.[4] The following season saw Dankerlui registered with the A1 selection (under-19 team), where he made his continental debut at youth level in the UEFA Youth League on 21 October 2014, in a 2–2 draw against FC Barcelona.[5] Despite appearing on the bench for the first team of Ajax, he was never substituted on, plying his trade for the reserves team before leaving the club in January 2018.
Willem II
On January 9, 2018 it was announced that Dankerlui had transferred to Willem II, signing a 2-year deal with the Eredivisie club from Tilburg.[6]
