Dijksteel began his dynamic journey in July 2020 when he joined the ranks of Telstar in the Eredivisie in Netherlands. Fast-forwarding to February 2021, Dijksteel's peregrinations led him to transfer from Telstar to Middlesbrough in the Championship in England, marking a significant step up in his career. However, the winds of change blew once again in March 2023, and Dijksteel found himself departing Middlesbrough and heading towards Wrexham, still within the Championship in England.
Just as the season changed in August 2023, so did Dijksteel's footballing station; he transferred from Wrexham to Cork City, marking his first venture into the First Division in the Republic of Ireland. During his debut season 2023 at Cork City, Dijksteel neatly made his mark with eight first team appearances in league matches, a figure that climbed to ten first-team appearances and included a single goal during the 2025 season at Cork City.
In July 2025, Dijksteel embarked on his current venture, transferring from Cork City to St Mirren in the Premiership in Scotland, a move shrouded in mystery due to the undisclosed transfer fee.

In a noteworthy exposure to cup competitions, he participated in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for St Mirren with two appearances as a substitute, and the Scottish Cup 2025 - 2026 for St Mirren, making the same number of substitute appearances. Dijksteel's story is still unfolding, his talent still unwrapping, and his legacy, yet to be fully revealed.
