Career
Tjoe-A-On was signed to a three-year contract with Excelsior in 2019, after developing through their youth system. However, injuries stunted his development and he lost around 14 months of playing and training time.[1] After the 2021–22 winter break he returned to action and gained confidence in his ability and felt able to do himself justice on the football field again. Following their promotion from the Eerste Divisie at the end of the 2021–22 season he received a contract extension in June 2022, for an additional two years.[2] He made his Eredivisie debut for Excelsior on 12 August 2022 against SC Cambuur at Cambuur Stadion in a 2–0 victory.[3] On 9 September 2022, he scored his first professional league goal, helping Excelsior to a 2-1 win over FC Emmen.[4]
