Club career
Utrecht
Kruys started his professional career in Utrecht in 2003. He played in Utrecht for five years and played over 100 league games. In 2008 Dutch media reported that Kruys would sign a 4½-year contract with Malmö FF, and he eventually joined the team in July 2008.[1][2]
Malmö FF
Due to injury problems Kruys would only play four games for his first season at the club. In 2009 Kruys played 13 games for the club in his best season this far at the club although still battling injuries. For the 2010 league winning season Kruys once again had much problems with injuries and played only four games. In early 2011 Malmö FF gave Kruys permission to look for a new club to restart his career.[3]
FC Volendam
Kruys was eventually loaned to FC Volendam until 1 June 2011.[4] When the loan deal expired Kruys became a Malmö FF player once again, however he is not training with the squad as Malmö FF is awaiting eventual bids from clubs in the Netherlands.[5] On 19 July it was announced that Kruys would continue to play for Volendam on loan until the end of the season.[6]
Excelsior
Kruys signed a two year contract with Excelsior on 13 July 2012.[7]
International career
Kruys has represented the Dutch under-21 side for 16 games and scored one goal.
