20-year old Steyn started his soccer career at his local club WVF. Soon after (U11) he was scouted by PEC Zwolle. Without much trouble he continued his way through the youth academy, winning multiple promotions and championships in the process. In the U19 team he was named captain of his team before continuing to play in the U23 senior PEC Zwolle team. During pre-season of the 2017-2018 season Steyn made his first unofficial appearance in the first team.
