**Devyne Fabian Jairo Rensch** (born 18 January 2003) is a Dutch professional [footballer](/source/Association_football) who plays as a [right-back](/source/Right-back) or [centre-back](/source/Centre-back) for Italian [Serie A](/source/Serie_A) club [Roma](/source/AS_Roma) and the [Netherlands national team](/source/Netherlands_national_football_team).

## Club career

### Ajax

Rensch played in the youth academies of VV Unicum and [Ajax](/source/AFC_Ajax). In the 2020–21 pre-season, Rensch, who had not yet made an appearance for [Jong Ajax](/source/Jong_Ajax) at that time, was given several minutes of play in Ajax's first team. During the regular season he was officially part of the first team, but he played most of his matches for Jong Ajax. On 19 November 2020, he was awarded the Abdelhak Nouri trophy as the best talent of Ajax's youth academy in the 2019–20 season.[4] He succeeded [Naci Ünüvar](/source/Naci_%C3%9Cn%C3%BCvar), who received the prize a year earlier. Rensch made his debut for [Ajax](/source/AFC_Ajax)'s first team on 28 November 2020, in an [Eredivisie](/source/Eredivisie) match against [Emmen](/source/FC_Emmen).[5] He made his first start on 31 January 2021.[6] On 18 February, he made his European debut in the [UEFA Europa League](/source/UEFA_Europa_League) against Lille OSC.[7] He scored his first goal for Ajax on 21 March in a 5–0 home win over [ADO Den Haag](/source/ADO_Den_Haag).[8][9] In the course of the season he received more and more playing time as a right back, partly due to injuries to other players, and he featured as a starter for Ajax in the second half of the season. On 18 April 2021, he won his first silverware with Ajax by beating [Vitesse](/source/SBV_Vitesse) in the [KNVB Cup](/source/KNVB_Cup) final. After that, the [Eredivisie](/source/Eredivisie) title was also won.[10]

Rensch played less during the [2021–22 season](/source/2021%E2%80%9322_AFC_Ajax_season), losing his starting spot to [Noussair Mazraoui](/source/Noussair_Mazraoui).[11] Before the start of the [2022–23 season](/source/2022%E2%80%9323_AFC_Ajax_season), Rensch expressed his wish of playing a more decisive role after struggling to find his form in the previous season, and after the departure of fellow right-back Mazraoui.[12] However, Ajax also brought in [Jorge Sánchez](/source/Jorge_S%C3%A1nchez_(footballer%2C_born_1997)) for the position.[13] After the start of the season, Rensch regained his form and became the starter.[14][15]

### Roma

On 23 January 2025, Rensch signed with [Roma](/source/AS_Roma) in Italy.[16]

## International career

Born in the Netherlands, Rensch is of Surinamese descent. He was a youth international for the Netherlands.[17]

He made his debut for the [Netherlands national football team](/source/Netherlands_national_football_team) on 7 September 2021 in a [World Cup qualifier](/source/2022_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_%E2%80%93_UEFA_Group_G) against [Turkey](/source/Turkey_national_football_team), a 6–1 home victory. He substituted [Denzel Dumfries](/source/Denzel_Dumfries) in the 71st minute.[18]

In June 2025 he was part of the [Netherlands national under-21 football team](/source/Netherlands_national_under-21_football_team) for the [2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship](/source/2025_UEFA_European_Under-21_Championship) in Slovakia.
