Club career
AFC Ajax
Sporkslede began his football career in the youth ranks of AZ Alkmaar, where he left to join the youth side of AFC Ajax in 2007. Working his way through the youth ranks of the Amsterdam side, Sporkslede would go on to make his debut for Ajax on 26 September 2012 in an away KNVB Cup match against FC Utrecht, which Ajax won by three goals to nil. Just three days after his debut, he made his regular season debut for Ajax, coming in as an 87th-minute substitute for Ryan Babel, in the 1–0 home win against FC Twente.[2] Four days later, Sporkslede made his international debut for Ajax, coming on as a 69th-minute substitute for Christian Poulsen in the UEFA Champions League group stage match against Real Madrid at home. The match ended in a 1–4 loss for the Amsterdam side.[3]
On Sunday, 7 October 2012, in the home match against FC Utrecht, Sporkslede became the unfortunate record holder, as the youngest AFC Ajax player in Eredivisie history to score an own goal. At the age of 19 years and 65 days, he surpassed the former record holder by 50 days, which was held by the German Ajax player Werner Schaaphok, who scored an own goal at the age of 19 years and 115 days, in a match against ADO Den Haag on 16 April 1961. The top five youngest Ajax players to score an own goal is completed by Marciano Vink (19 years and 124 days), Frank Rijkaard (19 years and 136 days) and former Danish talent Jan Mølby (19 years and 140 days). The match against Utrecht ended in a 1–1 draw for Ajax, after the ball accidentally was played back into the own net of Ajax by Sporkslede in the 51st minute.[4]
Willem II (loan)
On 10 July 2014, it was announced that Sporkslede was sent on loan to Willem II.[5] He made his first league appearance coming on as a 71-minute substitute in the 2–1 away win against Feyenoord at De Kuip on 7 September 2014.[6] On 23 September 2014, Sporkslede made his debut in the KNVB Cup match against Delta Sport which ended in a 2–1 loss for Willem II. His loan was ended during the Winter transfer window as Sporkslede had only played two matches since his arrival in July.[7]
Return to Ajax
On 26 January 2015 it was announced that Fabian Sporkslede would return to Ajax, playing for the reserves team Jong Ajax in the Eerste Divisie, the 2nd tier of professional football in the Netherlands.[8]
