Club career

Early career

Born in The Hague, Immers played for numerous clubs from The Hague in his youth, including amateurs LENS and Vredenburch. He also had a spell at DSO from Zoetermeer. ADO was impressed by his abilities, and he signed a contract with them, starting in the club's reserves. He made his professional debut on 24 August 2007, in the 2–2 away match against RKC Waalwijk.

ADO Den Haag

He made his debut from a substitute in the 74th minute for Yuri Cornelisse.[1] A week later, he renewed his contract with ADO, and signed for an additional period of two years.[2] He soon became a reliable force in the club from his hometown. Immers is also well known for his great love for ADO Den Haag. He has a tattoo on his back, with a stork, the symbol of the city of The Hague and of the club.

On 21 March 2011, Immers was fined by ADO for remarks about Jews (the nickname of Ajax supporters) made at the ADO supportershome after a 3–2 victory over AFC Ajax.[3] The incident was caught on video and published on the internet.[4] Immers apologized for his remarks on the ADO website.[5]

Feyenoord

On 5 June 2012, Immers moved to Feyenoord for an undisclosed fee, believed to be approximately €1m and also trading in Feyenoord's youngster Kevin Jansen.[6] Under contract with Feyenoord until 2016, Immers was handed the number 10 jersey. With the number 10 jersey he will replace former number 10 John Guidetti. On October 24, 2013 it was announced that Feyenoord hired Immers the first two years to avoid paying an agency commission.[7]

Cardiff City

Immers joined Cardiff City on loan on 21 January 2016.[8] He scored his first goal for the club on 30 January 2016 in a 3–2 win at Huddersfield Town.[9] Immers went on to score 5 goals in 15 games for the Bluebirds, as they narrowly missed out on a play-off place. He went on to agree a 2-year deal at Cardiff City Stadium, with the deal being completed on 1 July 2016 upon the opening of the summer transfer window.[10]
